Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera has strongly criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, labeling him a “traitor” during a press conference in Guwahati. Khera questioned Sarma’s loyalty to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, suggesting that someone who couldn’t remain faithful to the Congress might also betray Modi.

Referring to Sarma as the ‘Mama’ of Assam, Khera drew parallels with another political figure, Shivraj Singh Chouhan from Madhya Pradesh, hinting at a similar fate for Sarma. Highlighting Sarma’s political history, Khera mentioned that the Chief Minister was a former Congress leader who joined the BJP in 2015 due to disagreements with then Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.
Khera’s criticism was further fueled by Sarma’s recent statement predicting the decline of the Congress to a regional party after the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Khera suggested that Sarma’s continued communication with Congress leaders indicates his apprehension about the BJP’s performance in the polls.
Sarma had earlier criticized the Congress, calling it a “family-centric” party, while highlighting the BJP’s democratic nature. Sarma’s remarks and Khera’s response underscore the ongoing political tensions in Assam ahead of the upcoming elections.
