Ripun Bora can be CM, but in Bangladesh: Himanta Biswa Sarma

PUBLISHED:

GUWAHATI: Hitting out at Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Ripun Bora, senior BJP leader and Assam finance minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said Bora can be chief minister, but in Bangladesh. 

“Yesterday all the people in Gohpur said—we will make Ripun Bora CM, but in Bangladesh,” Dr. Sarma said on Tuesday. Ripun Bora has been contesting from Gohpur for the Assam assembly elections.

The minister has been targeting the Congress for aligning with Maulana Badruddin Ajmal-led All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF).

Sarma on Monday said by forging an alliance with AIUDF, Congress has isolated themselves from the mainstream people of Assam for 50 more years.

“By aligning with Ajmal, Congress has isolated themselves from the mainstream people of Assam for another 50 years,” the NEDA convenor criticised.

He explained that former chief ministers Tarun Gogoi and Hiteswar Saikia took 25 years to bring back the Congress to the mainstream.

“Congress alienated themselves from the people in 1983 when they had contested the so-called illegal elections,” the senior BJP leader noted.

“Our entire issue is how can you align with Mr. Ajmal? You can’t have a migrant Muslim who has not yet adopted Assamese culture fully. Give me a single instance where you have seen Mr. Ajmal in Bohag Bihu,” Sarma asked.

Sarma stated that this election would be entirely between BJP and Ajmal.

He alleged that by forging alliance with AIUDF, The Congress has compromised Assam’s soul for grabbing power.

“Congress, Akhil Gogoi, Lurin  Gogoi are not factors,” he added.
