Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has expressed hope that Congress-led alliance will win 72 to 73 seats of 126 assembly constituencies in Assam assembly elections.

 

Addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Mr. Kharge came down heavily on the Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma, alleging that he is working only for his family’s development. He said, Centre must probe into allegations of Himanta’s wife possessing assets abroad and having passports of 3 countries. He also said Assam’s son Zubeen did not get justice.

 

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi today said that the party’s housing project for victims of the Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslides was delayed due to lack of clearances from the ruling Left government in Kerala. During a UDF corner meeting at Kalpetta in Keralam, she attacked Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, questioning why there were no cases against him, despite facing several corruption accusations.
