Fast Justice for Zubeen Garg Among Five Congress Guarantees for Assam

Congress promises Rs 25 lakh health insurance, land rights for 10 lakh indigenous people, and monthly support to women and senior citizens in Assam elections, targeting welfare and governance.

  • On Sunday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge announced the party's 'five guarantees' for the upcoming Assam assembly elections at a rally in Naoboicha, focusing on women's welfare, healthcare, land rights, and justice in the Zubeen Garg death case.
  • Kharge criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party government, calling Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma a 'nakli' CM, and alleged Sarma removed tribal leader Sarbananda Sonowal to grab power after the 2021 elections.
  • The platform includes monthly cash transfers for women, Rs 50,000 for business expansion, and Rs 25 lakh cashless health insurance for families, alongside permanent land pattas for 10 lakh indigenous people.
  • Kharge accused the BJP of using a 'double engine' to loot Assam, filling the 'coffers' of its leaders, and pledged to ensure justice in the Zubeen Garg death case within 100 days.
  • Elections to the 126-member Assam Legislative Assembly occur in a single phase, with the BJP having won 60 seats in the previous 2021 contest to form government.
