10,000 Himantas can’t scare one Gaurav Gogoi: Congress’ Khera
The ongoing political drama in Assam has taken a new turn with Congress leader Pawan Khera’s recent statement, which has left many wondering about the dynamics between the ruling BJP and the Opposition party. In a bold remark, Khera claimed that the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led BJP government in Assam is “scared” of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, stating that “Ten thousand Himantas can’t scare one Gaurav Gogoi.”
Khera’s statement came after the arrest of a Congress spokesperson in Guwahati, which the party leaders have strongly condemned as a “deliberate attempt to muzzle the voice of the Opposition.” The Congress leader’s remark was a clear indication that the party is not intimidated by the BJP’s attempts to silence its leaders and is ready to take on the ruling party head-on.
The arrest of the Congress spokesperson has sparked widespread outrage, with many political leaders and civil society organizations condemning the move as a violation of democratic norms. The Congress party has accused the BJP government of using “undemocratic” means to suppress the voice of the Opposition and has demanded the immediate release of the arrested leader.
Khera’s statement, however, went beyond just criticizing the government’s actions. He also launched a scathing attack on Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, saying that his time in office is “limited” and that he is “scared” of Gaurav Gogoi. The Congress leader’s remarks have been seen as a deliberate attempt to provoke the Chief Minister and his government, and have raised questions about the level of political animosity between the two parties.
The BJP government in Assam has been facing criticism from various quarters over its handling of various issues, including the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the National Population Register (NPR). The Congress party has been at the forefront of the opposition to these measures, and Gaurav Gogoi has been a vocal critic of the government’s policies.
Gogoi, who represents the Kaliabor constituency in the Lok Sabha, has been a thorn in the side of the BJP government, consistently criticizing its actions and policies. His outspoken nature has made him a target of the ruling party, and his arrest would be seen as a major blow to the Congress party.
Khera’s statement has been seen as a rallying cry for the Congress party, which has been struggling to regain its footing in Assam after a series of defeats in recent elections. The party has been trying to revamp its image and connect with the people of Assam, and Khera’s statement has given them a much-needed boost.
The BJP government, on the other hand, has been trying to silence the Opposition by using various means, including arrests and intimidation. The recent arrest of the Congress spokesperson is just the latest example of this tactic, which has been widely condemned by civil society organizations and human rights groups.
In conclusion, Khera’s statement has sent a clear message to the BJP government in Assam that the Congress party is not afraid of its attempts to silence its leaders. The party is ready to take on the ruling party head-on and will not back down in the face of intimidation or arrests. The statement has also raised questions about the level of political animosity between the two parties and has left many wondering what the future holds for the political landscape of Assam.
