The political climate in Assam has reached a fever pitch leading up to the April 9, 2026, Assembly Elections.

One of UAE, another of Antigua & Barbuda, and that of Egypt. Congress claimed she owned undisclosed luxury properties in Dubai and had investments worth millions in Wyoming, USA, which were purportedly missing from Sarma’s election affidavits.
