Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma warned the Congress to contest on ballot paper and demanded the resignations of the Congress‑led governments in Kerala, Karnataka and Telangana.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly urged the Indian National Congress to contest elections on a ballot paper, asserting that the Congress‑run governments in Kerala, Karnataka and Telangana should step down.
Sarma framed his remarks as a call for accountability, suggesting that the three state administrations have failed to meet public expectations.
The Congress party has not issued an immediate response to the Assam leader's statements. Political observers note that such direct challenges could heighten inter‑state political tensions as the nation approaches the next electoral cycle.
Analysts also point out that the comments reflect the broader rivalry between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress at the national level.
