Political Row Erupts as Himanta Biswa Sarma Hits Back at Pawan Khera’s Allegations
War of words intensifies between BJP and Congress in Assam as allegations and counterclaims dominate the political narrative
New Delhi, April 7 — A fresh political controversy has erupted in Assam after Congress leader Pawan Khera levelled serious allegations against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, triggering a sharp response from the BJP leader.
Addressing a press conference, Khera accused Sarma and his wife of possessing undisclosed assets, including properties allegedly worth several crores outside India. He further claimed irregularities such as the existence of multiple passports, raising questions over financial transparency and legality. The Congress leader demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, intensifying the ongoing political clash between the BJP and Congress.
The allegations quickly gained traction, adding fuel to the already heated political environment in the state. However, no official confirmation or independent verification of these claims has been made so far.
Responding strongly, Sarma dismissed the accusations and launched a counterattack on Khera. He alleged that the Congress leader was attempting to evade scrutiny, stating, “Since yesterday morning, he fled from Guwahati, and today I was informed that when police reached his residence in Delhi, he had left for Hyderabad.”
Sarma’s remarks further escalated tensions, framing the issue as a politically motivated attempt to malign his image ahead of crucial political developments. He maintained that the allegations are baseless and aimed at diverting public attention.
The exchange marks another chapter in the ongoing confrontation between the BJP and Congress, with both sides trading serious accusations. As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on whether investigative agencies will step in to examine the claims or if the matter will remain confined to political rhetoric.
