Guwahati:
Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again hit out at the Congress over its alliance with Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF, claiming that this will push the party back by 50 years . In the early 80s, the Congress got alienated from the people of Assam. It took the party 25 years, first with Hiteshwar Saikia and then Tarun Gogoi, to rebuild Congress in Assam, but by aligning with Ajmal, they have pushed the party back by another 50 years, Mr Sarma told NDTV. Our question is, you have five guarantees, you have Rahul (Gandhi), Priyanka (Gandhi Vadra), so why do you need Ajmal? he asked, referencing the Congress s new five-guarantee campaign announced by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra earlier this month.
