In Guwahati’s charged political air, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stood firm Thursday defending Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi from CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s provocative Pakistan connection allegations. She branded the move a cynical bid to dodge accountability on development fronts.
‘Instead of jobs for the youth, we’re fed fiction about families. This isn’t leadership,’ Priyanka charged, lauding Gogoi’s commitment to principled governance. With polls nearing, she warned against the CM’s alleged scare tactics, confident in public discernment.
Dismissing the claims as fabrications, she stressed: ‘Assam’s voters reject such nonsense. Gaurav represents hope and integrity.’ The rebuttal amplifies Congress’s narrative of a desperate BJP clinging to controversies.
Priyanka extended her commentary to singer Zubeen Garg’s spat, imploring: ‘He’s our cultural jewel—keep politics away.’ This stance underscores a push for cleaner discourse amid fraying civility.
Outlining battle lines, she recommitted Congress to fighting inflation, unemployment, and underdevelopment head-on. ‘With respect and people-first policies, we’ll democratically unseat BJP,’ Priyanka vowed. The episode spotlights Assam’s high-wire pre-poll dynamics.
