Reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on ‘dynasty
politics,’ Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma attacked Congress leader
Rahul Gandhi, calling him a ‘poor illiterate fellow.’
“When it comes to dynastic politics, he (Rahul Gandhi)
must know the meaning of this. Amit Shah’s son is not in politics, but his
entire family is in Congress. Today he is criticizing everything, but he doesn’t
know that he is the core of everything,” said CM Himanta while speaking to
reporters in State capital Guwahati.
“So if in a family, everyone is in politics and
controlling a party, where he will see a parallel to that. Poor illiterate
fellow what he could say more. He thought that BCCI was a BJP wing…,” he
said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed
the Bharatiya Janata Party over dynasty politics and said, “What is exactly the
son of Amit Shah doing?”
During a Press conference, on being asked a question
about the BJP targeting Congress on dynasty politics, Rahul alleged that many
of their (BJP) children are dynasties.
“What is exactly the son of Amit Shah doing? What does
Rajnath Singh’s son do? Last I heard, Amit Shah’s son is running Indian
cricket. Please be objective. Look at the BJP, many of their children like
Anurag Thakur, are dynasties,” remarked Rahul Gandhi.
The Congress leader alleged that the ruling Mizo
National Front(MNF) and Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) “are the instruments for
the RSS and BJP to enter” the Northeastern State of Mizoram.
“The Congress party can never be an instrument to
enter (the State) because we are ideologically completely against the BJP,” he
said.
Rahul Gandhi is on a two-day visit to poll-bound
Mizoram.
Polls will be held in Mizoram and Chhattisgarh on
November 7, in Madhya Pradesh on November 17, Rajasthan on November 25 and
Telangana on November 30. The counting of votes will take place in all the States
on December 3. Of the five States, polling in Chhattisgarh will be held in two
phases.
The Model Code of Conduct has come into force with the
announcement of poll dates.
The elections to five States are crucial as they are
being held months before the Lok Sabha elections in April-May next year.
In the 2018 elections, Mizo National Front bagged 26
seats with a vote share of 37.8 per cent. Congress secured five seats and BJP
won one seat.
