GUWAHATI
The Assam unit of Congress on Wednesday indicated the State’s Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma was trying to outdo the central BJP leaders in deflecting discussion on Manipur.
Taking to Twitter, State Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah said Dr. Sarma was a “master in manipulation” who knows how to “deflect matters”.
He was reacting to the Chief Minister’s tweet on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s statement that INDIA (Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance) would rebuild the idea of India in Manipur.
“Mr Gandhi, this inherent bias is precisely the problem of INDIA. Speak only against Manipur and punish those who speak for others. In BHARAT, our allegiance is towards each and every citizen – be it Manipur, Rajasthan, or West Bengal, or in Assam,” Dr. Sarma said.
Countering the Chief Minister, Mr. Borah told the Chief Minister that he has not learnt the meaning of the word ‘priority even after being in different governmental positions for more than 20 years.
“When there are floods, do you talk of road building? When there are fires, do you talk of entertainment? So, when there is a civil war-like situation in Manipur where entire communities have been displaced, do you want anybody to talk of regular law-and-order situations?” he asked.
