Most Corrupt CM Rahul Gandhi Launches Scathing Attack on Himanta Biswa Sarma and Land ATM in Assam

During a high-voltage election rally in Assam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi intensified his campaign rhetoric, labeling Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma as the “most corrupt Chief Minister in India.” Gandhi accused the trio of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Sarma of running a “Land ATM” in the state, alleging that vast tracts of indigenous and forest land are being systematically siphoned off for the benefit of large corporate houses. He claimed that while the common people of Assam struggle with unemployment and inflation, the top leadership is focused on a “commission-based” governance model that prioritizes business interests over public welfare.

The Congress leader further alleged that the BJP’s “Double Engine” government has become a vehicle for “organized loot,” specifically targeting the privatization of local resources and infrastructure. Gandhi challenged the Chief Minister to address the growing disparities in the state and questioned why central agencies like the ED and CBI remain silent on allegations involving the state’s top brass. As the Assembly polls approach, these aggressive accusations signal a shift in the opposition’s strategy, moving from identity-based issues to a direct, personalized attack on the ruling administration’s financial integrity and land policies.
