Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is going to file a defamation case against former MP Rahul Gandhi over a tweet that linked him to the Adani group.

Sarma in his address at a press conference on Sunday said that the defamation case will be filed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Guwahati on April 14^th. Whatever Rahul Gandhi tweeted, it’s defamatory. We will respond after the PM leaves the state, he said. Definitely, a defamation case will be filed in Guwahati,” he added.

Rahul Gandhi in his Hindi tweet said that they hide the truth, that’s why they mislead everyday! The question remains the same whose Rs 20,000 crore benami money is in Adani’s companies? He shared an image with Adani written as an acronym of sorts with letters of the names of the leaders.

He cited the names of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Kiran Kumar Reddy and Anil K Antony in his tweet. After quitting the Congress, Azad formed his own party, while the rest joined the BJP. Scindia is now a Union minister and Sarma the chief minister of Assam.
