After a team of Assam Police reached Bangaluruto serve a notice to Indian Youth Congress national president BV Srinivas directing him to appear before the Dispur Police Station in Guwahati at 11 am on May 2, war of words have started between Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Congress leader Randeep Surjewala. Taunting Sarma with a "turncoat" jibe Surjewala on Sunday said chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has become “infamous for his antics to stay in news”. Dismissing the allegations against Srinivas as “propaganda”, Surjewala asked not to pay attention to Sarma as he is “trying to outbid” Union home minister Amit Shah to his post. Sarma said it was unfair to blame him for "the lack of a safe environment" within the Congress party for female workers.
The Assam police is acting in accordance with the law. They are currently investigating a case filed by a female Congress worker against the accused person under Section 354 of IPC.

"We reject this propaganda completely. Sometimes he wants to arrest Pawan Khera, sometimes he wants to arrest BV Srinivas. Perhaps it is to save the ignominy that Modi was trying to arrest him once for Saradha Scam and Louis Berger Scam. That is why he defected to BJP. Reject him, don't pay any attention to him," Randeep Surjewala said on the notice being stuck on the gate of Mr Srinivas's Bengaluru residence.
Congress on Saturday suspended its former Assam Pradesh Youth Congress chief Angakita Dutta who accused Srinivas BV of sexual harassment and discrimination. She has been expelled for six years for "anti-party" activities. The woman had filed a complaint against Srinivas at Dispur police station on Wednesday and was summoned by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam Police on Thursday. She accused the Congress leader of being "sexist and chauvinistic".
