Assam CM seeks Congress apology over Burnaul post amid MLC election tension

Assam Chief Minister <b>Himanta Biswa Sarma</b> has asked the <b>Congress</b> to apologise for a Burnaul‑related post, a demand that arrives as the state's <b>MLC election</b> results have left BJP and Congress at loggerheads. The request seems diplomatic, yet the CM’s follow‑up comment that the issue is ‘still burning’ highlights the entrenched friction and administrative inertia that stall any real dialogue. Such back‑and‑forth keeps Assam’s political climate volatile, risking governance delays and eroding public confidence ahead of upcoming elections.
