Congress leader Sibamoni Bora urges voter to defeat Pradyut Bordoloi by a massive margin in LS polls

In a surprising turn of events, Congress leader and MLA Sibamoni Bora, in what appears to be a slip of the tongue, urged voters to support the defeat of MP Pradyut Bordoloi in the Nagaon LS seat. 

The incident has created a stir in political circles, raising questions about the party's unity and strategy for the upcoming elections.

In an election rally, Sibamoni Bora said, "In Nagaon Lok Sabha seat we will make sure Congress MP candidate Pradyut Bordoloi loses the election with a massive margin...I am appealing to all, tell me whether you can do it or not."

Further, she asserted that on April 26, people should press the Congress button maximum time on the EVM machine and make sure Nagaon sitting MP and current candidate Pradyut Bordoloi loses the election by a massive margin.

In a scathing remark against Congress leader Pradyut Bordoloi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on April 23 said that the Congress leader is a 'Suitcase MP' who makes his presence felt only during elections, as he arrives once in a while to Nagaon with a suitcase and then leaves with his suitcase. 

Himanta Biswa Sarma was speaking at an election rally in Nagaon's Juria, campaigning for party candidate Suresh Borah. 

He targeted Bordoloi stating that the Congress leader looks more like an 'Englishmen' for which people of Assam have to learn 'proper spoken English' in order to speak to the Congress leader. 

CM Sarma further added that Bordoloi even tries to avoid shaking hands with the poor people. "Pradyut Bordoloi looks more like a Sahabi. He washes hands with soap after shaking hands with the poor", said CM Sarma.
