New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in his rally on Monday (March 15) in poll-bound Assam laid a scathing assault on Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and claimed that he’s following “Jinnah’s footsteps”.
Addressing a marketing campaign rally at Dibrugarh’s Naharkatia in Assam, Chouhan mentioned, “Congress is not following in Mahatma Gandhi’s footsteps. Congress and Rahul Gandhi are following in Jinnah’s footsteps. And Jinnah’s steps will destroy Assam and India.”
Chouhan slammed Congress for its alliance with Maulana Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections and mentioned that this alliance is an “insult” to late Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.
“Congress joined with a man like Badruddin Ajmal who supported infiltrators and left no stone unturned in destroying Assam, who talks about creating a Muslim nation. Ajmal is a man with whom even Tarun Gogoi did join hands. This is an insult to Gogoi too,” he was quoted as saying by ANI.
Attacking Congress, he alleged that the get together has failed to hold out any developmental work within the Northeastern states since Independence.
“Congress dominated Assam for 55 years, however what has it given? Assam which was not defeated by the Mughals because of the heroism of Lachit Borphukan (Ahom common), Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi gave solely infiltration, violence, terrorism, agitation, starvation and unemployment,” PTI quoted the MP CM as saying.
He mentioned that below the management of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal, Assam began advancing on the trail of improvement.
He added that Congress will “become history” below the management of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Chouhan shared the dias with Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal in Naharkatia. Assam will go to polls for 126 Assembly seats in three phases from March 27 to April 6. The outcomes will be declared on May 2.
