Kharge Calls Assam Government Corrupt, Predicts Congress’ Return to Power
Kharge says Assam government corrupt, Congress will regain power.
Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday described the current Assam government as the “most corrupt” in the state’s history, asserting that the Indian National Congress is poised to return to power in upcoming elections. Kharge made the remarks during a public event in Guwahati, addressing a gathering of party workers and local media.
Kharge criticized the state administration for what he described as mismanagement and alleged irregularities in governance, including accusations of favoritism, misuse of public funds, and lack of transparency. He emphasized that citizens are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the ruling party and that these grievances would influence the electoral outcome.
Highlighting Congress’s track record in Assam, Kharge said the party’s governance had prioritized development, education, and healthcare in previous terms. He urged voters to consider the party’s historical performance while making informed choices in the upcoming polls, framing the election as a referendum on accountability and integrity.

Political analysts noted that Kharge’s comments come at a time of heightened political competition in Assam, where both national and regional parties are mobilizing aggressively ahead of the next assembly elections. The Congress strategy appears focused on projecting governance failures by the current administration to consolidate opposition support.
Kharge also called on party workers to intensify their grassroots campaigns, emphasizing outreach to rural areas where public discontent over administrative issues is reportedly highest. He stressed that an effective ground campaign would be crucial for Congress to regain power in the state.
The ruling party in Assam has yet to respond to Kharge’s remarks. Observers say the statements could intensify political rhetoric in the state, potentially shaping narratives around corruption, development, and governance in the lead-up to the elections.
