Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has targeted Kunki Chowdhury, the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) candidate for Central Guwahati, over allegations regarding her mother's social media activities. Sarma claimed that Sujata Gurung Chowdhury's posts on Instagram, which included consuming beef and remarks perceived as challenging Sanatan Dharma, were 'hurtful to sentiments'. He also alleged that she supported controversial figures like Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid. In response, Kunki Chowdhury firmly denied these allegations, stating they were baseless and unfounded. She emphasized her commitment to the people of Guwahati Central and expressed confidence in her recent entry into politics, which she claims has been met with support from the public. This incident has sparked a new political controversy in the ongoing Assam election campaign.
