• Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has filed a Rs 500 crore defamation lawsuit against former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, AICC General Secretary Jitendra Singh, and Assam Congress President Gaurav Gogoi.
• The lawsuit, filed in a Guwahati court, alleges false and malicious accusations made by the Congress leaders.
• The dispute originated from a press conference where Gaurav Gogoi claimed CM Sarma and his family encroached on 12,000 bighas of land, and an AI-generated video circulating false content.
• CM Sarma posted on X, stating, "The era of politics where one makes allegations and then runs away is over. I will see this conspiracy of the Gandhi family in court."
• Sarma accused the Congress leadership of a conspiracy to defame him, orchestrated at the behest of the Gandhi family, and vowed to fight the allegations legally.
