Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took a dig at Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra during her campaign in Jorhat, comparing her to the “Amul Baby” and suggesting that visiting Kaziranga National Park to witness rhinos would be more beneficial than attending her rally.
Sarma derided the Gandhi family, implying they were better suited for advertising campaigns like Amul, rather than political leadership. He downplayed the turnout at Vadra’s rally, emphasizing the importance of visiting Kaziranga and observing wildlife instead.
The Chief Minister challenged the efficacy of Congress candidate Gaurav Gogoi, highlighting his purported lack of engagement with local issues. Gogoi, seeking re-election from Jorhat constituency, faces competition from BJP’s Topon Kumar Gogoi in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, during her roadshow, promised wage increases for tea garden workers and financial support for students and women if the Congress-led INDIA alliance emerges victorious. The Jorhat constituency, set for voting on April 19 in the first phase of elections, remains a focal point in the political landscape of Assam.
