Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge urged voters in Assam to remove the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government, terming it the country’s most corrupt.
He attacked chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for enriching himself instead of working for the people.
Kharge cited feedback from the ground and added that it indicates that Congress will come to power and win 72-73 of the 126 seats.
He accused the BJP government of running a syndicate, taking commissions, and giving away thousands of acres of land to big companies.
Congress’s Assam in charge Jitendra Singh cited inconsistencies in Sarma’s affidavit and said the party has filed a petition before the Election Commission of India (ECI) seeking his disqualification.
Kharge highlighted Congress poll promises, including justice for singer Zubeen Garg in 100 days if voted to power, unconditional monthly cash transfer to bank accounts of women, and a one-time ₹50,000 grant to women to start businesses.
