assam-cm-sarma-calls-congress-family-centric-who-make-decisions-in-dining-room

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday lambasted the Congress, comparing it with BJP, said that the party is only 'centered' around its family, adding INC makes decisions sitting in the dining room.

 

The chief minister made the statement at the inauguration of a party office at Chakchaka in Barpeta district. 

 

"The BJP is a democratic party, formed by its workers. But if you look at Congress or other parties, these are not formed by workers but are centered around their leaders and families. Decisions are taken in the dining room of the family and workers only follow it. The agenda and ideology of the party are changed to suit the requirement of the family," he said. 

 

He then praised the BJP's efforts, affirming the party has always remained firm on its agenda and objectives of - humanity, welfare of all, and India's prosperity. 

 

"Whoever may be the party chief, there is no change in the party's agenda. If you look at Nadda ji (present BJP chief), he was a mere worker. He was not any leader's son or father," Sarma said. 

 

Sarma also mentioned other leaders like Amit Shah and Narendra Modi, who rose to top positions without any family backing or patronage. 

 

"In other parties, workers cannot rise to such high positions. There was (Jawaharlal) Nehru first, then Indira (Gandhi), then Sonia, then Rahul (in Congress). But in the BJP, there was Vajpayee, then Advani, Modi, Shah, and Nadda. None of them are from one family," he said. 

 

He asserted that the BJP is formed by the workers and the party's agenda is set in its offices and not in anyone's dining room. 

 

The CM also maintained that the BJP is formed on four 'Ks' - 'karyasuchi' (agenda), 'karyakarta', (workers) 'karyalay' (office), 20and 'kosh' (fund). 

 

"Like the four Vedas, these four are the four pillars on which our party's strength lies in the state," he added, exhorting the workers to continue working dedicatedly for the party.
