Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has stirred controversy by alleging that a Member of Parliament from his state has connections with US billionaire George Soros. This assertion comes amid ongoing accusations from the Bharatiya Janata Party against the Congress leadership for allegedly plotting with Soros to destabilize India.

Despite making the claim, Sarma did not disclose the identity or party of the MP in question. When questioned about possible financial backing from Soros during elections, he admitted to having no evidence, urging journalists to investigate the matter further.

The CM also touched upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent Lok Sabha speech, criticizing the Congress for constitutional betrayals while supporting simultaneous elections in India to save on costs and improve efficiency.
