Assam Chief Minister Dr Himantha Biswa Sarma launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asserting, “Rahul Gandhi is very popular in Pakistan. If there is an election in Pakistan and Rahul Gandhi contests it, then he will win a huge margin of votes. We cannot defeat Rahul Gandhi in Pakistan. Rahul Gandhi would definitely win in Pakistan. How can that happen in Bharat what Pakistan wants? Whatever Pakistan wants, the opposite will happen in Bharat. In Bharat only Prime Minister Narendra Modi will win.”
CM Himanta’s remarks were prompted by the recent controversy ignited on May 1 when Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, a former minister in Imran Khan’s cabinet in Pakistan, shared a video featuring Rahul Gandhi on his social media handle and praised the Congress leader.

Addressing a public rally in Anand on May 1, PM Modi remarked, “Look at the coincidence, today Congress is getting weak in Bharat. The funny thing is that here Congress is dying and there Pakistan is crying. Now Pakistani leaders are praying for Congress. Pakistan is eager to make the prince the Prime Minister and we already know that Congress is a fan of Pakistan. This partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed.”
On May 3, amidst the furour, Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Uttar Pradesh’s Raebareli Lok Sabha constituency, accompanied by Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and her husband Robert Vadra. Rahul faces Congress defector and three-time MLC Dinesh Pratap Singh in Raebareli.
