Rakibul Hussain retorts to Himanta Biswa Sarma’s ‘Bakasura’ jibe, says ‘God made me to eat biryani’

Assam’s Rakibul Hussain, a member of the legislative assembly, publicly countered a comment made by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that labeled him a ‘Bakasura’. In a social media post, Hussain quoted a popular saying, asserting that “God made me to eat biryani”, implying that the insult was unfounded. The exchange has drawn attention on regional political forums, with supporters of both leaders weighing in. No further escalation has been reported, and both politicians continue their respective duties in the state assembly. The incident underscores the heightened rhetoric often seen in Assam’s political discourse.
