Congress Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia alleged that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the state government's negligence caused recent violence in Karbi Anglong, resulting in two deaths. Saikia stated the unrest stemmed from administrative failure and political maneuvering, not a sudden event. He countered the Chief Minister's claims about court-imposed limitations on evictions, asserting the government has repeatedly violated court orders, even allotting land to corporate entities in Sixth Schedule areas.
