Himanta Biswa Sarma assured that those responsible for the BJP worker's death would face justice.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that "goons of Congress" "violently attacked and killed" a BJP worker during pre-poll violence in Nagaon district. On Friday, BJP worker Biplab Saikia died of injuries he reportedly sustained in clashes between members of the two parties ahead of by-elections in Samaguri constituency in the district.
"My deepest condolences to the family of our @BJP4Assam karyakarta from Samaguri, Late Bipul Saikia, who was violently attacked and killed by goons of @INCAssam," Mr Sarma posted on X.
He assured that those responsible would face justice, criticising the Congress and said that the party's public calls to "protect the Constitution" were incongruous with what he described as their "incitement of poll-related violence."
