Senior Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi took a direct dig at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while campaigning for the second phase of Lok Sabha elections.

My Father Was Assam CM For 15 Years, Yet We Don’t Own Tea Gardens: Gaurav Gogoi

Gaurav Gogoi trained guns at the Chief Minister by stating that although his father was a Chief Minister for 15 years, the Gogoi family doesn’t own businesses as Sarma’s family.

Reflecting on his late father, Tarun Gogoi, Gaurav Gogoi said, “My father served as the CM of Assam for 15 years, yet our family does not own any tea garden or operate any syndicate under our name.”

“We did not engage in granting sand or coal contracts. He (former Assam CM Tarun Gogoi) was a true statesman,” he added.

Addressing a gathering at the election rally, Gaurav Gogoi remarked, “This is not just another election. It could very well be our last election.”

“If the current political landscape remains unchanged, then this could indeed be our final opportunity to participate in the democratic process. Through this election, we are striving to safeguard the principles of our democracy,” he said.
