Guwahati witnessed a fiery takedown of Congress by Union Minister Pabitra Margherita on Sunday. The Assam leader declared that the party, battered by electoral setbacks, still clings to influence among minorities through calculated appeasement, particularly targeting the Muslim vote.
“Congress is never entirely absent from Assam’s politics,” he observed, but quickly pivoted to condemnation. Rather than fostering development or unity, the opposition has mastered the art of division for vote banks over decades, offering false hopes that perpetuate backwardness.
Today’s politically savvy Assamese populace sees right through this ‘appeasement politics,’ Margherita said. He lauded CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s BJP government for its equitable welfare distribution, strengthened security, advanced infrastructure, and pro-tribal initiatives that resonate deeply with the masses.
Accusing Congress of election-time drama with provocative speeches and distractions, the minister warned against their ploy to recapture eroding support. As polls loom, expect more such tactics, but they will fail.
The BJP’s track record speaks volumes: peace, prosperity, and progress for all. Margherita is optimistic that Assam will shun Congress’s relic strategies, opting instead for a united path toward sustainable growth and harmony.
