, October 24 : AICC Spokesperson and Media Co-ordinator for Assam, Dr. Onika Mehrotra, addressed Congress party workers at the District Congress Party Office in Diphu on Friday, focusing on strengthening the party's grassroots movement. During her interaction, she discussed key organizational strategies to bolster the Congress presence in the region.

In a subsequent press conference, Dr. Mehrotra launched a scathing attack on the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council , alleging rampant corruption under Chief Executive Member (CEM) Tuliram Ronghang. She labeled Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma as "India’s most corrupt Chief Minister" and accused Ronghang of acting as Sarma’s "ATM," prioritizing personal wealth accumulation over the welfare of Karbi Anglong’s people.
Dr. Mehrotra claimed that Ronghang has shown little regard for the region’s residents, amassing wealth for himself, his family, and close associates. She further alleged that Ronghang facilitated the transfer of 1.53 lakh bighas of land to business associates of the BJP, betraying the interests of Karbi Anglong’s people.
Additionally, Dr. Mehrotra criticized the BJP for politicizing the ongoing investigation into the murder of heartthrob accusing the party of exploiting the tragedy for political gain.
The Congress leader urged party workers to unite and expose the alleged misdeeds of the BJP-led administration, vowing to intensify efforts to protect the rights and interests of the people of Assam.
