Assam Assembly Polls: Congress Releases '20-Point Chargesheet' Against BJP Govt; Accuses It of 'Rampant Corruption'

On Thursday, February 19, 2026, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra released a 20-page people's charge sheet in Guwahati accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Assam government of institutionalising a 'syndicate raj' and handing indigenous lands to corporate houses.
Citing governance failures, the report argued poll-bound Assam’s State debt crossed ₹2 lakh crore as loans funded electoral freebies instead of infrastructure and essentials.
Alleging systemic wrongdoing, it named Himanta Biswa Sarma, ministers and members of his family for amassing illegal wealth via an organised syndicate and promoting illegal economies like rat-hole coal mining and drugs, while more than 9,000 state-run schools were merged or closed.
Released before the elections, the document incorporated the angst of people across Assam, and framed electoral freebies and diverted funds as key to winning over voters in poll-bound Assam.
On identity and legal processes, the charge sheet alleged the BJP undermined the Assam Accord of 1985 via the Citizenship Amendment Act and the Immigration and Foreigners Order, 2025, and accused it of stalling the NRC update while 'blackmailing' communities.
