Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma slammed Rahul Gandhi and said he is not fit for politics. Mr. Sarma, who served in Congress for over two decades, stated in an interview with a media house that Rahul Gandhi occasionally will leave a meeting midway and continue with his fitness routine, such as jogging, or he may leave the room and return after 30 minutes.

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, has come under fire from Assam’s chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who called him “not fit for politics,” “does not have methodical sincerity,” and “wants to have power without responsibility.”
Meanwhile, Sarma, who served in Congress for more than two decades, claimed in an interview that he had warned the party’s leadership that they would lose the northeast if they didn’t change course. In 2015, Sarma joined the BJP. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi lacked seriousness as a politician, acted like “a feudal lord,” and was haughty.
Despite stepping down as party president and continuing to make important decisions for the organisation, Mr. Sarma claimed that Rahul Gandhi, who is currently on the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, had accepted moral responsibility for the party’s loss in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections as well as for his defeat in Amethi.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra is a Comedy of the Century!
The Bharat that we live in today is resilient, robust & united. The only time India was divided was in 1947 because Congress agreed for it. Rahul Gandhi ji should go to Pakistan for ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ if they want unification. pic.twitter.com/PzACrtB0eq

He continued, “You are not the president of the Congress, but you make all the decisions; if you are not the president of the Congress, why is the entire party now behind you?”
Rahul Gandhi, according to Sarma, was on a yatra but fell short of articulating his vision for the nation.
Assam CM further slammed that “Rahul has accepted moral responsibility for the fact that the party lost the Lok Sabha elections under my leadership, so I will not be the president. But who is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra? Who is the whole party running after? That means you want to enjoy the power without accountability. In a democracy, when someone wants to enjoy the power without parliamentary accountability, without party accountability, without the accountability of the people.”
He claimed that in the Congress ecosphere, only the Gandhi family is significant.
The Congress party, according to Sarma, “creates an environment that beyond the Gandhi family you have nothing. When someone resigns from the party, the Congress spokesperson says he has betrayed the family, but they won’t say he has betrayed the nation. They will say that the family gave you everything, but the truth is that the people of the nation give power. But they create a buzz that family had made you MP. This is the environment of Congress.”
Earlier Himanta Biswa Sarma also said that Rahul Gandhi should try to integrate Pakistan and Bangladesh with India if he feels “sorry” for his grandfather’s (Jawaharlal Nehru) mistake of partition.
“India is intact. We’re one nation. Congress disintegrated India in 1947. If Rahul Gandhi has any regret that his grandfather made a mistake, there’s no use of Bharat Jodo Yatra in India. Try to integrate Pakistan, Bangladesh, and work for Akhand Bharat,” Sarma said in a jab at the Congress-led “Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
