Hindustan Times  

Taking a jibe at I.N.D.I.A, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Sunday that the Congress-led opposition bloc was intact, though not on Earth, but on ‘the Moon and Sun.’ Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma “The INDI alliance is intact, not on Earth, but perhaps on the Moon and Sun. Sarma’s statement came after Congress MP Jairam Ramesh stated that I.N.D.I.A would cross 272 seats in Lok Sabha, with that figure being the halfway mark in the 543-seat House. Sarma, meanwhile, also asserted that the people of India, and Assam in particular, will participate in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections not defensively, but ‘freely and wholeheartedly.’ “The people of India, and the Assamese in particular, will not fight this election from a defensive position. In the previous 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the ruling BJP and its allies won 18 parliamentary segments in the northeast, including 11 in Assam.
