Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticised the Congress in Morigaon, calling its candidate Sibamoni Bora a ‘silent bride’ ahead of the upcoming polls.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a pointed attack on the Indian National Congress in the Morigaon district, describing the party's candidate Sibamoni Bora as a "silent bride". The comment was made during a public address as the state gears up for the forthcoming assembly elections.
Sarma's remark underscores the intensity of the electoral battle in Morigaon, a constituency where both the ruling party and the Congress are vying for crucial votes. By portraying Bora as silent, the CM aimed to suggest inactivity on the part of the opposition.
The Congress has not issued an immediate response, but political observers note that such rhetoric is intended to cast the rival party as disengaged from voters' concerns. The upcoming polls are expected to be closely contested across Assam.
Stakeholders in Morigaon are now watching the campaign closely, with both sides seeking to mobilise support ahead of the election schedule.
