Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma alleges Congress sells 20% of its election tickets to fund campaigns, criticizing the party’s treatment of Dalits and highlighting political tensions ahead of upcoming elections.
Guwahati:Assam Chief Minister and BJP co-in-charge for Jharkhand, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has made notable allegations regarding the Congress party’s electoral practices. Sarma, who has previously been part of the Congress, claimed that the party sells 20% of its election tickets, using the revenue generated to support its campaign efforts.Sarma stated, “I was in Congress, and this is how they operate—selling 20% of tickets to fund their elections.” He expressed confidence in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), asserting that it is set to gain even more strength in the upcoming electoral battles. The BJP leader emphasized the effectiveness of the NDA in the current election cycle.On October 24, Sarma further criticized the Congress party, particularly in light of an incident involving Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The BJP has alleged that Kharge was denied entry when Priyanka Gandhi Vadra filed her nomination for the Wayanad by-elections.Sarma remarked, “The incident with Mallikarjun Kharge has revealed the true position of Dalits within Congress. Externally, Rahul Gandhi projects an image of supporting Dalits and promoting their participation, but internally, they are subjected to insults. This incident has stripped Congress of any credibility.” He further asserted that the treatment of Dalits within the party reflects systemic issues, claiming that they are treated as second-class citizens.These comments emerge amidst a backdrop of escalating political tensions as various parties gear up for forthcoming elections, with the BJP aiming to capitalize on perceived weaknesses within the Congress party. The discourse highlights ongoing rivalries as both alliances prepare for a fiercely competitive electoral landscape.
