Gaurav Gogoi criticises Himanta Sarma over infiltration issues, accuses him of playing politics
New Delhi: Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has sharply criticised Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, questioning his government’s handling of the infiltration issue despite the BJP's nearly decade-long rule in the state.
Gogoi raised concerns over the state's border security under the current regime, asking, “If infiltrators are still entering Assam after 10 years of BJP rule, who is responsible?”
He pointed out the BJP-led government’s failure to effectively curb illegal immigration. “It is the duty of both the Assam government and the central government to prevent illegal migration. Instead of taking concrete action, the government is busy playing politics,” news agency ANI quoted Gogoi as saying.
He emphasised that the Congress party's position is clear: no illegal Bangladeshi nationals should be allowed to stay in Assam.
Gogoi predicted that Sarma’s politics of polarisation, which had failed in Jharkhand, would not yield success in Assam either.
