Himanta Biswa Sarma's DNA is Cong DNA, now he has changed his blood: DK Shivakumar's dig at Assam CM
Bengaluru: In the lead up to the upcoming Karnataka elections, a war of words has erupted between two prominent political figures in the state. Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar has made a controversial statement about BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, claiming that his DNA is "Congress DNA" and that he has now "changed his blood".
Speaking at a rally, Bengaluru, Shivakumar said, "Himanta Biswa Sarma's DNA is Congress DNA. He should know that his blood is Congress' blood, Gandhi's blood. Now he has changed his blood."

Sarma, who was a former Congress leader in Assam, had joined the BJP in 2015 and has been a key figure in the party's rise in the Northeast. He has often been critical of the Congress party and its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Reacting to Shivakumar's statement, Sarma said, "I have not changed my blood, but I have changed my ideology. I left the Congress because I felt that the party was no longer committed to the development of Assam and the Northeast."
The Karnataka elections are set to take place later this year, and both the Congress and the BJP are gearing up for a tough fight. The Congress, which lost power in the state in 2019, is hoping to make a comeback, while the BJP is looking to retain its hold on the state. With the war of words between Shivakumar and Sarma heating up, it remains to be seen how it will impact the election outcome.
