Union Minister of State Pabitra Margherita turned up the heat on Congress during a Sunday address in Guwahati, labeling their persistence in Assam’s politics as rooted in minority appeasement despite string after string of defeats. The party steadfastly markets itself as the champion of Muslim and other minority interests.
While acknowledging Congress’s enduring presence, Margherita lambasted their preference for vote-bank engineering over substantive growth or cohesion. “Generations of exploiting minorities with unfulfilled pledges have stunted their advancement,” he charged.
Assam’s electorate, sharper than ever, has grown wise to this manipulative ‘appeasement playbook.’ Spotlighting BJP’s governance under CM Sarma, the minister touted discrimination-free welfare, fortified law and order, world-class infrastructure, and empowerment for tribal populations – keys to surging popularity.
Congress’s playbook is transparent: ramp up divisive discourse and emotional appeals as elections beckon, all to claw back relevance. Such maneuvers are relics of a bygone era.
With BJP delivering tangible results, Margherita predicts a resounding voter mandate against Congress’s polarizing past. Assam’s trajectory is clear – development, stability, and collective advancement triumph over fragmentation.
