Congress doing politics of convenience: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has alleged that Congress is doing the politics of convenience. He . challenged Rahul Gandhi to tweet against Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar after he held a recent meeting with Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani. But does Rahul Gandhi have the courage, I challenge, to tweet against Sharad Pawar? To ask what Pawarji's relationship is with Adani? So this is the politics of convenience," Himanta Biswa Sarma said at Republic Summit. "You tweet something on BJP and Adani but when Gautam Adani goes to Sharad Pawar's house and spends 2-3 hours, why doesn't Rahul Gandhi tweet? I have no problem in Sharad Pawar meeting Adani ji," the Assam CM said.

कुछ दिन पहले शरद पवार जी और गौतम अड़ानी मिले थे ।

मैं राहुल गांधी को चुनौती देता हूँ कि शरद पवार के ख़िलाफ़ एक ट्वीट करके दिखायें।@republic @Republic_Bharat pic.twitter.com/I1gegmsauE

In a recent tweet, Rahul Gandhi mentioned the name of some ex-Congressmen including Himanta Biswa Sarma, Ghulam Nabi Azad and linked them with Adani as he wrote, "They hide the truth, that's why they mislead everyday.On opposition unity ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha election, Himanta said, "First, Nitish Kumar must think how many seats he has without Tejashwi. Without support, he can't even stand. If they aim to contain BJP within 250 seats in the Lok Sabha, it means they already accepted defeat."

मैंने नीतीश जी का analysis किया हैं। चाहे RJD हो या BJP, supporting partner के बिना उनका प्रभाव बहुत ही सीमित हैं।

विपक्ष का लक्ष्य हैं BJP को 250 सीट मिले। मेरे अनुसार यह उनके लिये हार स्वीकार करने वाली बात हैं।@republic @Republic_Bharat pic.twitter.com/loa7TW2Tj5

Sarma said , under the PM Modi the North East will soon emerge as a major power centre. We have seen such a significant improvement in law and order that I scaled down security level of MLAs from elaborate convoys to just one constable.
