During a visit to Himachal Pradesh, Assam's chief minister accused the Congress party of making unrealistic job promises to voters.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma used his Himachal Pradesh itinerary to launch a sharp criticism of the Indian National Congress. He asserted that the opposition's promises of large-scale employment lack substance and are aimed merely at garnering votes.
Sarma highlighted the need for concrete skill development and industry-friendly policies in Assam, warning that empty assurances could erode public trust. He urged the state government to focus on actionable measures rather than political rhetoric.
The remarks came as the Congress party continues its pre-election outreach across northern India, where job creation remains a key electoral issue. No immediate response was recorded from Congress leaders on the CM's statements.
Political analysts note that the CM's comments are part of a broader strategy to contrast the ruling party's governance record with that of the opposition ahead of upcoming state elections.
