Deputy leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, on Monday (8 December 2025) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of giving political color to the discussion on Vande Mataram and said that no matter how hard the Prime Minister and the people of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) try, they cannot tarnish the contribution of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. While participating in the discussion on Vande Mataram in the House, he also said, ‘BJP’s political ancestors had no contribution in the freedom struggle.’ Gogoi claimed that Congress was the first to chant Vande Mataram.

The Congress MP said, ‘I listened to the Prime Minister’s speech carefully. He had two objectives. His first objective was to try to convey that your (ruling party) political ancestors were fighting against the British. His second objective was to give a political color to this discussion. Gogoi said that the Prime Minister repeatedly mentions Congress and Nehru in every statement.

‘Taken name of former PM Nehru 14 times and Congress 50 times’

Gogoi said that earlier during the discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the House, Prime Minister Modi took the name of Nehru 14 times and the name of Congress 50 times. He said, ‘No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to put even a single black mark on his contribution.’ Referring to the historical perspective, the Congress leader said, ‘The Muslim League wanted to say that the entire Vande Mataram should be boycotted and at that time Maulana Abul Kalam Azad himself had said that he had no objection to Vande Mataram.’ He said, ‘Congress decided in one of its sessions that wherever any event is held, we will sing Vande Mataram.’ Gogoi said, ‘It was opposed by the Muslim League and the Hindu Mahasabha and the Congress was criticized.’ He claimed that BJP has neither understood Bengal nor this nation.

Did PM Modi say this in Parliament on Nehru?

Prime Minister Modi claimed in the Lok Sabha on Monday that Vande Mataram was torn into pieces under the pressure of the Muslim League when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the Congress President. Modi also said, “Congress bowed down on the partition of Vande Mataram, hence one day it had to bow down for the partition of India.” While starting the “discussion on the occasion of completion of 150 years of the national song Vande Mataram” in the House, Modi cited the Emergency imposed in the country in 1975 and said that when the national song completed 100 years, then the country was caught in the chains of Emergency. It happened and the Constitution was strangled.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi. This time Sarma has alleged him to be a Pakistani agent established by foreign powers in India.

Assam CM did not stop here. After calling Gogoi a Pakistani agent, he said that if he has the guts then he should file a defamation case against him. CM Sarma further said that he will prove his allegations after Zubeen Garg gets justice. Let us tell you that the case of death of Garg, a popular Assamese singer, is still under investigation.

‘Gaurav Gogoi is a Pakistani agent’

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that Gaurav Gogoi is a Pakistani agent and he is a pure Pakistani agent. If they have courage then file a defamation case against me. I have proof that he is 100 percent Pakistani agent. They have been planted in our country by foreign powers. He is a planted person. He further said that I am saying this with facts. Being a Chief Minister, I am saying that he is a pure Pakistani agent.

Serious allegations were made against Gogoi’s wife

Let us tell you that this comment of Assam CM is part of the ongoing political dispute between the BJP government and Congress. The chief minister’s allegations center on claims of foreign links by Gogoi’s wife, British national Elizabeth Colburn. According to Himanta Sarma, Colburn allegedly has links with Pakistani individuals and organisations.

These allegations stem from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report submitted by Sarma to the Assam Cabinet, although no details of the report have been made public due to its sensitive nature.

Gaurav Gogoi, who represents Kaliabor in Parliament and deputy leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, has rejected these allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated. Congress leaders have also condemned these comments and called them an attempt to divert public attention from serious issues of governance in the state.

Political uproar over Kharge’s demand for ban on RSS! BJP countered, said- politics of power and appeasement…

Gaurav Gogoi, president of the Assam unit of the Congress, has written a letter to Union Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, urging him to postpone toll recovery till the highways are repaired in the state. In the Lok Sabha, Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Gogoi claimed that there is increasing resentment among the people over toll recovery on highways, because the condition of highways is very bad.

Gogoi said in a letter to Gadkari, “The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) continues to collect tolls on major parts of NH-27 and NH-37, while roads suffer from deep pits, uneven surfaces and frequent waterlogging.” A copy of this letter was shared with the media on Saturday (August 23, 2025).

People demonstrated against toll plaza

Gogoi said, ‘These conditions threaten life, damage vehicles and travel delays. The theme of special concern is Sonapur-Raha (NH-27/NH-37) and Bahata Chariali (Madanpur)-Nalbari (Galia toll plaza) are toll plazas, where many accidents happen and travel time is also long.

MP from Jorhat Gogoi said that there have been demonstrations against both the current and upcoming toll plazas and people are opposing the increasing toll charges between floods, unemployment and inflation. He said, “Important truck drivers and transporters for Assam’s agricultural economy complain of huge cost, which increases the prices of essential commodities and puts more burden on domestic expenses.”

Demand for postponing toll collection until repairs are repaired

Gogoi said, “The matter has become essential in view of the recent Supreme Court verdict on the position of NH-544 in Kerala, stating that citizens cannot be forced to pay tolls to pass through drains and pits.”

Gogoi said that the order stressed that the basic basis of the toll collection is to provide safe and regulated access and the failure to ensure that weakens the validity of the toll system. He urged Gadkari to direct NHAI to postpone the toll collection on the toll plaza fixed by him till the highways are repaired.

Assam Assembly Election: The political atmosphere has started to heat up for the next year’s Assam assembly elections. The state has a BJP government for the last 10 years and Chief Minister Himant Biswa Sarma is also preparing to return to power this time. But the Congress has also launched a big bet. He has made the match exciting by making his MP Gaurav Gogoi the state president. Meanwhile, the figures that have been revealed in the survey conducted by Vote Vibe are very shocking.

Condition in CM race

According to the survey, there is a very close match between Himant Biswa Sarma and Gaurav Gogoi for the post of Chief Minister. 46% of the people want to see Himanta Biswa Sarma again, while 45% of the people want to assign this responsibility to Gaurav Gogoi. The major reason for this collision is the caste and religious balance of Assam, in which the Muslim population is considered to be around 34-40%. This is the reason that the vote blocks of both sides are almost seen on par.

There is anti -incumbency, but not trusting the option

In the survey, 50% of the people appeared dissatisfied with the current government. 36% very angry and 14% angry, but when asked which party is better for the development of Assam, then 50% people chose BJP and 40% of Congress. It is clear that despite resentment, there is a feeling of stability about BJP.

People angry with the MLA, but not from the party

The most interesting part of the survey came to light when people were asked if they would like to change their current MLA. 75% of the people said yes, but 40% of these people are those who are only angry with the MLA and not the party.

Loss of Congress without AIUDF

In 2021 there was an alliance of Congress and AIUDF, which led to a difference of only 1.5% between BJP and Congress vote share. But in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, this alliance broke and BJP got a 10% lead. If the Congress does not go with AIUDF even in the assembly elections, then the BJP’s path may be easy. However, the Congress is seen in a position to compete without AIUDF.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made serious allegations against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi in the Lok Sabha on Sunday (May 18, 2025). Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi went to Pakistan on the invitation of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI (ISI).” He said that we also have documents in support of this claim.

Gaurav Gogoi went to Pakistan to train

Himant Biswa Sarma said, “For the first time I want to say that Gaurav Gogoi went to Pakistan on ISI’s invitation. ISI is under the Ministry of Home Affairs. We have documents, he went there to take training. Gaurav Gogoi went there after receiving a letter from Pakistan’s Home Department. He went there at the invitation of Pakistan government. Is.”

He said, “If this is not spying, what is it? Then you come and oppose Rafael. You ask questions in Parliament where the security layer has been made in the coastal route? Where is the nuclear weapon of India kept?

He said, “I request the Congress MP that if a BJP MP has gone to Pakistan for personal reasons without informing the administration, then please inform us. We will definitely convey this information to our national president.”

He said, “I again clarify with full authority and responsibility as the Chief Minister of Assam, Congress MP from Assam Gaurav Gogoi went to Pakistan on the invitation of Pakistan’s Internal Ministry. He spent several days there. We are investigating further to gather detailed information of this journey and its related activities.”

Congress MP responds to the allegation of Assam Chief Minister

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has reacted to the serious allegations made by Himanta Biswa Sarma. He made several posts reacting to social media platform X. He said in his post, “I am worried about the health of the Chief Minister of Assam. For some reason I have been on his target since my entry in Assam and the reason for this is only he knows. In the last 13 years, he has made many absurd comments about me and his recent comments touch the limits of madness and stupidity.”

He said, “It is often said that when something is not right in the house, its effect starts appearing on the mental state of man. We will ensure that after 2026 they get a chance to rest some rest.”

Gaurav Gogoi commented on Chief Minister

Gaurav Gogoi said, “The script that the Chief Minister is reading is worse than a B-grade film. It is said that a person has to tell countless lies to hide a lie and the Chief Minister is doing the same thing. He has not shown any evidence about his claims so far and is being treated like an IT cell troll.

He said, “If he has evidence to prove his allegations, then why do they not make them public. This spectacle cannot hide behind the screen for a long time.”

Chief Minister is lying sheer- Congress MP

Gaurav Gogoi said, “99 percent of the things that the Chief Minister is saying is sheer is false and absurd. Was flown. “

He said, “The Chief Minister, no matter all the insignificant towards me, as he has lived for the last 13 years. The Congress party has made its focus on the terrible economic status of Assam and the coal and drug mafia running in political security.”
