Guwahati, Mar 31: Amidst the exodus of Congress members to the BJP, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a scathing attack on the Congress party and exuded confidence that no one would remain in the party and the office of the Assam Congress would soon be closed.
While speaking to reporters, Sarma said, “By 2026, no Hindu person will be there in Congress, except one or two people. And by 2032, most of the Muslim people will leave Congress, as it is the way we are moving forward.”
Following this, the chief minister said, “After that, when the then office of the Assam Congress will be closed, we will open a local office of the Assam BJP at that place.”
Notably, several Congress leaders and other politicians from different political parties are defecting to the saffron party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
