'Will Arrest You After Lok Sabha Polls': Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's Big Warning To Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday warned that his government will arrest Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections for instigating violence and disobedience in Guwahati. "We will arrest Rahul Gandhi after the Lok Sabha Election. We will file a civil complaint against Rahul Gandhi for instigating violence and disobedience in Guwahati today. We had advised him to lead the Nyay Yatra, though, anyway, but not through Guwahati city. He had come with 3000 people and 200 vehicles How can this be allowed inside the city? They came and fought with the police. Rahul Gandhi from his bus instigated everything. We will arrest him after the Lok Sabha elections,'' the Assam CM said while speaking to reporters.

Sarma had earlier directed the DGP to register an FIR against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly inciting the crowd during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Sarma also accused Rahul of using "Naxalite tactics" alien to Assamese culture. He made these remarks after clashes erupted as the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra faced obstruction, leading to heightened tensions between Congress workers and Assam police. 

The Yatra faced resistance in the Khanapara Area, with heavy security measures in place. Assam Congress President Bhupen Kumar Borah defended Rahul Gandhi, stating, "Rahul ji's name is not in any corruption case." He shifted the narrative to focus on safety concerns for women in Assam.

Sarma Most Corrupt CM: Rahul

In a counter-move, Rahul Gandhi, who is currently leading the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, hit back at the BJP, saying there is ''no saffron wave'' in the country.  Referring to the grand Ram Temple 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony held in Ayodhya on Monday, the Congress MP said, ''It was a political event of the BJP.'' The Congress Wayanad MP, while addressing several critical issues during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, also slammed Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, labelling him as the most ''corrupt chief minister'' in the country.
