The allegations of corruption and land grabbing against the ruling India===Bharatiya Janata Party in India===Assam could create uncertainty for businesses operating or planning to invest in the state, particularly in real estate. Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the India-United States trade deal might also signal potential shifts in trade policy if the India===Indian National Congress gains power, affecting companies involved in international trade.
Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the India===Indian National Congress, is actively campaigning for the India===Assam Assembly elections. During his rallies, he has launched a sharp attack on India===Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, labeling him the 'most corrupt CM' in India. Gandhi alleges that Sarma, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is operating a 'land ATM' in India===Assam, systematically taking land from the public and allocating it to large corporate houses. He claims that 98,400 bighas of land have been handed over to three major corporate groups, which he suggests are financing the India===Bharatiya Janata Party. Rahul Gandhi has vowed that if the India===Indian National Congress comes to power in India===Assam, legal action will be taken against Sarma and his family for alleged corruption. He also criticized India's trade pact with the United States, claiming it disadvantages India by lowering taxes on American goods and opening the Indian market. Controversially, Gandhi alleged that former US President Donald Trump has leverage over Narendra Modi due to 'Epstein files,' influencing India's trade decisions. The India===Indian National Congress is promising to implement Article 244(A) for greater autonomy for indigenous communities and increase daily wages for tea garden workers to Rs 450.
