'Poor illiterate fellow': Assam CM Sarma criticises Rahul Gandhi over 'dynasty politics' remark

Guwahati (Assam): Reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks on 'dynasty politics,' Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him a 'poor illiterate fellow.'

"When it comes to dynastic politics, he (Rahul Gandhi) must know the meaning of this. Amit Shah's son is not in politics, but his entire family is in Congress. Today he is slamming everything, but he doesn't know that he is the core of everything," Sarma said while speaking to reporters in Assam's Guwahati.

'When it comes to dynastic politics,' he said, 'Rahul Gandhi must know the meaning of this. Amit Shah's son is not in politics, but his entire family is in Congress. Today he is slamming everything, but he doesn't know that he is the core of everything...' Sarma said while speaking to reporters in Assam's Guwahati.

"So if in a family, everyone is in politics and controlling a party, where he will see a parallel to that. Poor illiterate fellow what he could say more. He thought that BCCI was a BJP wing..." he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party over dynasty politics and said "What is exactly the son of Amit Shah doing?"
