Opposition Congress has recently accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for diverting people’s mind by raising issue on implementation of Assam Accord.
During a joint press conference, Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia and Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah said, “CM Himanta Biswa Sarma wants to confuse people of Assam to sail through the 2026 assembly polls. Corruption by his family is a big issue in people’s minds. He has raised the Assam Accord topic just to divert public attention from his family.”
“Why is he not making it public how the state will implement 57 clauses of the report? The CM is leaving those 10 clauses which are the souls of Assam Accord. There is no word from the MHA also regarding the report and its applicability,” Borah said.
Further they mentioned, Assam Accord can be implemented by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and it does not fall under the ambit of the state government.
