Himanta Sarma Calls Amit Shah "PM". Not Slip Of Tongue, Alleges Congress
NDTV
The Assam Congress in a post on its official Facebook page alluded to Himanta Biswa Sarma calling Amit Shah "Prime Minister" inadvertently as a deliberate act
The Congress has taken a swipe at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma calling Amit Shah "Prime Minister" inadvertently at a public event in the state. When @sarbanandsonwal Ji was the CM, MP @pallablochandas on several occasions referred to cabinet minister @himantabiswa ji as the CM in public!Has #BJP decided its next @PMOIndia replacing @narendramodi Ji?Or a campaign has been launched to promote @AmitShah ji as the PM? pic.twitter.com/BgqgbbajXC
BJP leaders have said it was a slip of tongue, but the Congress refuses to believe that.
Mr Sarma, speaking in Assamese at the event, welcomed "Prime Minister Amit Shah" and "Home Minister Narendra Modi" as he addressed the crowd of hundreds sitting under a large tent.
The Assam Congress in a post on its official Facebook page alluded to Mr Sarma calling Amit Shah "Prime Minister" as a deliberate act, and drew parallels with an Assam MP who used to call Mr Sarma "Chief Minister" when Sarbananda Sonowal was the Chief Minister. At that time Mr Sarma was a minister in the Assam government.
