The political theatrics are heating up in the state with the ruling BJP targeting the principal opponent Congress over Jorhat MP and state president Gaurav Gogoi’s alleged collusion with foreign forces to work against India’s interests. In return, the Congress has tightened the screw against the BJP over a controversial video featuring Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, allegedly targeting religious minorities and promoting extreme violence and hatred.
