Sarma alleges opposition campaign against election commissioner

Source: NDTV · 24 Sep 2026, 12:15 UTC

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma said attacks on the Chief Election Commissioner were, in his view, part of a campaign by the opposition. The supplied report does not identify the attacks, name other participants or include a response from opposition parties or the poll body.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma said political attacks targeting the Chief Election Commissioner were part of an opposition campaign, NDTV reported. Sarma presented that assessment as his own view. The supplied material does not describe the specific statements or actions he was referring to.

It also does not identify the opposition parties allegedly involved, explain the issue that prompted the attacks or provide a response from those parties. No statement from the Chief Election Commissioner or the Election Commission is included in the report material. The timing and setting of Sarma’s remarks are also not provided.

The available account therefore records Sarma’s allegation without independently establishing the claim or detailing the wider political dispute surrounding the poll body chief.
