Guwahati: Union Minister Pabitra Margherita has raised questions over the development credentials of opposition leaders in Assam, highlighting concerns about their ability to govern effectively. Speaking on the state’s political landscape, Margherita drew parallels with Bihar’s recent elections, stating that just as the people of Bihar did not allow a “mischievous boy” to assume power, Assam’s citizens would similarly reject misrule.

Sharpening his criticism, Margherita pointed to Akhil Gogoi’s lack of progress in his own constituency and alleged that Gaurav Gogoi had failed to contribute meaningfully to development in Jorhat. He questioned how such leaders could be entrusted with the responsibility of governing the entire state.
