The Congress released its Lok Sabha election manifesto on Friday, emphasizing five "pillars of justice" and the 25 promises that fall under each.
Digital Desk: Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, attacked the Congress on Saturday over the party's election manifesto, saying it was better suitable for elections in Pakistan than in India. According to him, the manifesto was written to split society to seize power.
The Congress released its Lok Sabha election manifesto on Friday, emphasizing five "pillars of justice" and the 25 promises that fall under each. A national caste census, a legislative guarantee for the Minimum Support Price (MSP), and the cancellation of the Agnipath program were among the promises made by the party.
"We reject this appeasement politics. On the fringes of an election rally in the Jorhat seat, he told reporters, "The manifesto feels like it is not for elections in Bharat but for Pakistan.
No one, the Chief Minister of Assam claimed, Hindu or Muslim, supported polygamy or child marriage, or wanted to see triple talaq return.
"The mentality of the Congress is to divide the society and come to power," he asserted.
With an unwavering assurance that the BJP would secure all 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state, Sarma stated that the BJP had evolved into a "andolan," or movement, whose goal is to elevate the nation to the status of "Vishwa guru," or global leader.
However, the Congress hit back at Sarma, claiming that a turncoat such as his would be unable to comprehend the inclusive and secular ideology of the historic party. 2015 saw Sarma join the BJP.
Despite serving in the Congress for several years, Sarma was unable to comprehend the party's core values. He visited the BJP for that reason. Assam Congress spokesman Bedabrata Bora told news agency PTI, "Even after joining the BJP for a while, he still tries to defame Congress to prove his loyalty to the saffron party."
Sarma's accusations were rejected by Bora, who said that the party's platform protected the rights of all societal groups.
In three stages, on April 19, April 26, and May 7, Assam will cast its votes. Votes will be counted on June 4.
