Reacting to the incident that took place today, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President (APCC) Bhupen Borah alleged that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was behind the attack on Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi and MLA Sibamoni Bora.

Bora claimed that BJP-backed goons carried out the planned assault, leading to serious injuries to both leaders. He also said that four to five vehicles belonging to Congress workers were vandalized during the attack.
