Himanta Biswa Sarma on Rahul Gandhi: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has mentioned that he was never impressed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s arguments, logic, or deeds. He was replying to questions from Rajat Sharma within the present ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, to be telecast on Saturday (May 27) on India TV.
CM Sarma revealed what occurred within the assembly with Rahul Gandhi, after which he left Congress and joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Rajat Sharma: I heard you went and met Rahul Gandhi, however he devoted extra time to his pet.
Sarma: “No the story is like this. Rahul Gandhi had called a meeting in which the then CM Tarun Gogoi, myself, party in-charge CP Joshi and Assam Congress chief Anjan Dutta were present. We went to his room and talks began. Five minutes later, his pet dog came, and start eating the biscuits that were served with tea for us on the table. I looked at the other three leaders, they were eating comfortably from the same table. I had gone to meet for the first time. I felt, this was their culture, having food with pet dogs. I said, I can’t be like this, I can’t eat like this. I decided not to go there again.”
Rajat Sharma: Later Rahul posted a video together with his pet canine?
Sarma: Yes, it was the identical pet canine…
Rajat Sharma: But Congress folks wrote with the video, the canine proved extra loyal than you?
Sarma: Now the place is the query of loyalty? We didn’t be a part of the occasion for loyalty to a household. Were they paying wage to me? We ought to demystify all this. Rahul was one in every of our colleagues in a political occasion. Others could have taken favours from him. I do not what Congressmen take into account about loyalty. For me, loyalty is to not a household, my loyalty is to the nation….Whatever is left of the Congress right this moment is due to Mahatma Gandhi. They hijacked his identify. Even right this moment, in case you reduce out the surname of Gandhi from Sonia ji and Rahul’s names, what’s left? This title has been hijacked. Congress belong to Mahamanav Mahatma Gandhi. Otherwise, the place is the Congress? Gandhi household doesn’t belong to Mahatma Gandhi.”
The Assam CM mentioned, “Look, I knew Rahul Gandhi since childhood and I was never impressed by his merit. When I was in Congress, I used to meet Sonia Gandhi regularly, but I never met Rahul Gandhi. I was never impressed by his merits, his deeds, his arguments, logic and his capacity to do public service. Those who never struggle in life, can never become the leader of a country like India.”
Assam CM on UCC:
On the difficulty of uniform civil code, the Assam CM mentioned that each Muslim girl voter will vote for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 15 to twenty years from now.
“I predict, 15 to 20 years from now, every Muslim woman voter will vote for BJP, because we have abolished ‘triple talaq’ and we will surely do away with polygamy. Even Prophet Mohammed, whom Muslims revere as ‘Nabi’, was in favour of monogamy. On polygamy, the Prophet had said, this could be done only with the consent of existing wives. The Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution clearly says we should bring a common civil code, which we will surely implement,” Sarma said.
