Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President Bhupen Kumar Borah on June 27 hit back at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s remark that Congress’s shops will be closed for the next 50 years if the draft for re-determination of the constituency is implemented.
CM Sarma Has Turned BJP Into Market
While ddressing the media at Greenwood Resort, Khanapara, Guwahati, Bhupen Kumar Borah said, “Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has habitually used the word ‘Shop’ with the Congress. When he was in the Congress party, the party’s principles were eroded and a shop-like atmosphere was created. It was because of this environment that the BJP’s parliamentary committee publicly circulated the story of Himanta Biswa Sarma’s Louis Berger scam, Saradha scam etc. The day the same Himanta Biswa Sarma went to the BJP, the BJP party has turned into a market and not a shop.”
Further, the APCC President alleged that the Assam Police force has tried to suppress the protest programme in Barak valley against the draft delimitation published by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
“I condemned the inhuman atrocities committed by the Police on the protesters lead by the APCC Working President, Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha during a protest programme in Barak valley against the draft delimitation. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is using the Police force to suppress such a democratic movement and silence the voice of the people,” Borah added.
