The Indian National Congress accused the ruling BJP of orchestrating a recent attack in Assam, while the state's chief minister said the incident stemmed from internal disputes within the party.
Congress leaders publicly charged the Bharatiya Janata Party with responsibility for a recent violent incident that took place in Assam, asserting that the ruling party was behind the attack. The accusation was made without providing detailed evidence, but it reflects growing political friction in the northeastern state.
In response, Assam's chief minister rejected the claim and attributed the episode to internal factionalism within the BJP, suggesting that disagreements among party members had escalated into the violent act. The chief minister emphasized that the incident was not a coordinated party operation but a fallout of personal rivalries.
The exchange adds to an already tense political atmosphere in Assam, where both national parties are vying for influence ahead of upcoming electoral contests. Observers note that such public blame games could further polarise the electorate and impact governance in the region.
