The Congress alleged on Sunday (April 5, 2026) that the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma possesses passports from three countries and that he concealed information about her properties, but the BJP leader “categorically rejected” the claims as “malicious” and “fabricated” and vowed to take legal action “within 48 hours”.
Targeting CM Sarma as the campaign peaks for the April 9 election in Assam, Congress’ media and publicity department head Pawan Khera showed, at a press conference, purported documents to support the allegations and demanded that the Election Commission of India cancel his nomination for allegedly concealing information in his poll affidavit.

Hitting back at Mr. Khera, CM Sarma said that as Assam moves decisively towards a historic mandate, such desperate and baseless attacks only expose the Congress’ sinking ground.
“These are malicious, fabricated, and politically motivated lies aimed at misleading the people of Assam,” the Assam Chief Minister said.
