Himanta Biswa Sarma left the Congress for BJP barely six years ago. Yet the first 45 days of his government have already evoked comparisons with Adityanath. 6 hours ago Assam chief minister pays tributes to Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the precursor to the Bharatiya Janata Party, in Guwahati on June 23. | Twitter/ HimantaBiswa
On June 2, Assam’s newly appointed chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to Twitter to list out the names of 22 people accused of assaulting a doctor at a Covid-19 care centre in Hojai district the previous day.
Barpeta, India – It has been nearly a year since 12-year-old Ayesha Siddiqa has been confined to her house in India’s northeastern state of Assam due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Her school in Gomafulbaru in the Barpeta district offered online classes, but the grade 6 student could not attend, as her parents cannot afford a smartphone.
Siddiqa lives with her parents and younger brother in a char – a remote riverine island formed by siltation of the Brahmaputra river that cuts through the state of nearly 30 million. Her father Abed Ali, 45, and mother Gulbahar Nesa grow rice on rented farmland, but struggle to make ends meet.
