Political tensions rose on Tuesday as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accused the Kharge family, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, of being 'anti-Assam.' The accusation followed a verbal exchange with Karnataka's IT Minister Priyank Kharge over Assam's tech industry initiatives.
Chief Minister Sarma alleged that Priyank Kharge spread misinformation about Assam, recalling prior derogatory remarks from Mallikarjun Kharge. Sarma demanded Congress explain Assam's cultural significance and youth competence to Karnataka's IT Minister.
The incident flared when Priyank Kharge questioned investment shifts to Assam, prompting Sarma to label Kharge 'a first-class idiot.' Priyank retorted, describing Sarma's accusations as deflecting from governance failures, citing Assam's low ranks in health and education.
