Few Muslim MLAs to remain in Congress before 2026 polls
The chief minister said he was unaware of Congressman Rana Goswami's recent resignation as the party's working president and his membership of the BJP.
"He (Goswami) is a powerful leader of the congress and if he joins the BJP, I will welcome it," Sarma stated.
Sarma's opinions were earlier expressed by state Water Resources minister Pijush Hazarika, who stated, "All other congress leaders and MLAs are in touch with us, except for the names I mentioned."
Bhupen Borah, the head of the assam congress, had earlier stated that Sarma's "acrimonious behaviour towards me and my family" showed that he was terrified of him.
The head of the assam congress said that despite his request for more protection following his attack during the Bharat Jodo Nyay yatra last month, he was not given any.
"Those who physically attacked me during the Bharat Jodo Nyay yatra are being allowed to roam free," he said.
"In a state where writing a poem of dissent, or a scathing post, can get you arrested, just imagine an assailant walking about freely, without a care in the world!" Borah contributed to X.
