Himanta On Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee:
Meanwhile, taking a jibe at the Congress MP, the incumbent Assam CM called him a “mental patient." Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s “vote chori” allegations, Sarma said, "Rahul Gandhi is a mental patient. The Congress won Kerala, so the same Election Commission is fair in Kerala. But the BJP has won in Assam, so the Assam election was not fair. But both the elections were conducted by the same Election Commission. Is this not the sign of a mental depression?"
