    Guwahati: A day after former Congress MLA Sherman Ali got bail by Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court, he stated that he is a victim of political conspiracy.

    Commenting about the congress party, he said, “I am shocked that Congress high command called me the agent of BJP; I was disheartened to hear it. No party can buy me with money.”





    While I was in jail, I didn’t receive any help from Congress, he added.
