Congress leader Jairam Ramesh and Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday engaged in banter over Assam Chief Minister’s remark that Congress should go to Pakistan for ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
The senior Congress leader said that Sarma was ‘boyish and immature and that he has to keep making such remarks to prove his loyalty. “I don’t take Assam CM seriously, because he has to prove his loyalty every day after having been a part of Congress for 20-25 years. He’s a recent migrant to the BJP, so he has to make outrageous statements every day,” Ramesh quipped.
Reacting to Ramesh’s barb, Sarma said he didn’t even know who Jairam Ramesh was. “First, tell me who Jairam Ramesh is? Is he someone who lives in Assam? Who is he? I have no idea. Who will remember the name of a Congress leader? I was never very close to any man with such a name when I was in Congress. I don’t even know who he is,” Sarma said.
Further the argument continued.
