Assam CM Himanta slams Rahul Gandhi as "lunatic" with "loose screws" during Bihar rally

Amid the high-octane dust-up of Bihar's assembly polls, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma slams Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandha at a Katihar rally, branding Rahul Gandhi a full-blown "lunatic" with "loose screws" for daring to suggest that just 10% of India's population holds the Indian Army in a vice grip. It was a response to Rahul's earlier Kutumba tirade, where he lamented how 90% of backward, Dalit, and Adivasi folks are sidelined from power in key institutions like the judiciary and the forces, a claim that's already whipped up a nationalist storm.

Sarma rallying for JD(U)'s Vijay Singh post-rally from a press conference, "Rahul Gandhi is mad. Don’t talk about him. He says whatever comes to his mind," before escalating to a wild demand: the nation should "officially declare him mad" to shield the military's honor from such "treasonous" percentage peddling.The barbs flew thicker in Ramnagar, where Sarma doubled down, painting Rahul as a "planted enemy" of the realm, allegedly seeded by adversaries to erode India's bedrock institutions. "If India has a conflict with Pakistan, will you divide the Army by 10-20 percent? A strong person capable of facing the enemy should be in the Army," he thundered, decrying the remarks as an outright insult to soldiers and a betrayal of national unity.

As the first phase of voting churns through 121 constituencies—spotlighting showdowns in Raghopur, Mahua, and Tarapur etc. Demanding a government probe into Rahul's overseas jaunts only hinting at deeper conspiracies in this electoral tinderbox. For Bihar's voters, caught in the crossfire of caste calculus and chest-thumping patriotism, it's a reminder that polls here aren't just about ballots—they're brutal beauty pageants of barbs, where one loose screw can unscrew an entire alliance.
