Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the BJP-led government for Assam’s developmental delays, attributing the issues to corruption and poor governance. He suggested that significant change is on the horizon for Assam, particularly with the upcoming Assembly elections in 2026, arguing that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promises cannot assuage the people’s dissatisfaction in the northeastern state.

Kharge made these statements on Monday as Prime Minister Modi commenced a two-day visit to Assam. On X, he lambasted Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, saying, “Modi ji has established a ‘factory of rhetoric’ in Assam, masterminded by the most corrupt Chief Minister of the BJP.”

Although he did not name individuals, Kharge stated, “Recently, Congress leaders in Assam faced attacks, both politically and physically. The public will respond to these aggressions by voting in a Congress government within a year.” He further accused the BJP of leading Assam into an era of “corruption, hatred, and misgovernance” driven by the ruling party’s land mafia.

He remarked on the prevalent issues in Assam, including youth unemployment, the plight of tea garden workers, the Supreme Court’s rebuke over illegal immigrants, and the hypocrisy of the BJP—declaring that the state has fallen behind on every development metric.

Kharge, who also leads the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, affirmed, “The anger of the people of Assam is palpable, and Modi ji’s rhetoric will not quell it. Therefore, change is inevitable in Assam and the Northeast.”

Earlier in the day, Congress leaders including Jitendra Singh, Gaurav Gogoi, and Pradyut Bordoloi held a press conference, stating, “Assam is in a state of deep crisis under the BJP, and it is time for the double-dhoka government to be held accountable for its transgressions.” They raised pertinent questions about the ruling government’s failures, asking, “Why has the BJP failed to ensure law and order in Assam? Why is the police force being politicized? Why are only political adversaries being targeted?”

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
