Firing a fresh salvo at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s bearded appearance Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Rahul resembled former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Assam chief minister Biswa addressed a campaign in Ahmedabad and said, “If he (Rahul Gandhi) wanted to change his looks, why did not he choose to look like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or Jawaharlal Nehru? Even Gandhi Ji’s look would have been better, but why he is changing his face to look like Saddam Hussein now?”

Taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra Sarma said, “Rahul Gandhi is visiting places where there are no elections.”

Meanwhile, the Assam CM’s statement went viral and said Congress called it a “stunt”.

“You (Assam CM) just want a headline and you get that only when you take Rahul Gandhi’s name. Himanta Biswa Sarma can say anything. He can go to any level for power. We don’t pay attention to such statement,” Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah said

Moreover, condemning CM Biswa’s remark Rajasthan Cabinet Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said, “He (Assam CM Sarma) is the same person who used to praise Rahul Gandhi, and now he is giving such shameful statements and comparing Rahul Gandhi with Saddam Hussein.”

“People like Sarma are criminals and he will never become the Chief Minister again. BJP must learn from Rahul Gandhi. India is in his DNA, and he considers the national flag his religion,” Khachariyawas said.
