Assam CM Uses Cricket Analogy to Criticize Congress Amid Electoral Roll Protests
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma used a cricket analogy on social media to mock the Congress party amid protests over electoral roll revisions and allegations of vote theft. Sarma joked that a Congress bowler would have blamed a tampered ball, a fixed pitch, and demanded the umpire's resignation instead of continuing the game. The post sparked reactions online, with some users joining in the humor while protests called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over voter deletion concerns.
