JORHAT: Congress gave recognition to Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and that is why he thinks about it "all the time", party general secretary Jairam Rames claimed on Wednesday.

Addressing a press conference here, he said with the "opportunistic" leader joining the BJP, the Congress is strengthening itself in a new and stronger way.

"This CM (Sarma) is known for the Congress, which gave him an identity. He was a minister for 15 years during Tarun Gogoi's CM tenure. Later, he betrayed the Congress and joined the BJP. I Never seen such treachery." " Rameses said.

He said, it was because of Gogoi that Sarma rose to fame, otherwise, he would have faded into oblivion.

Talking about the electoral prospects of the opposition alliance, Ramesh said, "India will get a clear majority of more than 272 seats. I have no doubt about that."

He claimed that there is an undercurrent against the ruling BJP-led NDA among all sections of the society.
