In Assam, political unrest has followed a recent decision by the state assembly. The assembly decided to cancel a two-hour break for Namaz, which had been set aside to ease government work.

Yadav’s comment implies a negative comparison between the two leaders. In response, Chief Minister Sarma dismissed Yadav’s remarks, stating that his administration will continue its work regardless of criticism. He emphasized that the focus should remain on progress rather than reacting to comments.
