Congress’ Assam Bachao marketing campaign turns into Taiwan Bachao marketing campaign

Congress celebration members by no means miss an opportunity to embarrass themselves. In the warmth of the election marketing campaign within the poll-bound state of Assam, the Congress celebration’s social media staff has made a blunder by posting two photographs of tea gardens in Taiwan on their verified social media account, as a substitute of images of the tea gardens from Assam.Assam’s finance minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma took a jibe on the Congress claiming, “Congress leaders can’t even recognize Assam?” He tweeted, “Official Congress campaign page is using a photo of tea garden from Taiwan to say ‘Assam Bachao’. Congress leaders can’t even recognise Assam? This is an insult of Assam and Tea Garden workers of our state.”Official Congress marketing campaign web page is utilizing picture of tea backyard from Taiwan to say “Assam Bachao”.Congress leaders cannot even recognise Assam?This is an insult of Assam and Tea Garden staff of our state. #CongressInsultsAssam pic.twitter.com/UTS7iSROu2— Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) March 4, 2021Sarma’s assault on the Congress celebration didn’t simply cease there. In one other tweet, he shared photos from the ‘Assam Bachao’ web page, wherein Congress didn’t differentiate between the tea staff of Assam and Taiwan.“First Congress couldn’t identify Assam, now Congress can’t even recognize Assamese people. This is again a pic from Taiwan. Congress leaders have forgotten Assam. Let’s show @INCIndia how beautiful our land is,” Sarma added additional.First Congress could not determine Assam, now Congress cannot even recognise Assamese folks.This is once more a pic from Taiwan.Congress leaders have forgotten Assam. Let’s present @INCIndia how stunning our land is. #CongressInsultsAssam pic.twitter.com/TfRxXdfUAK— Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) March 4, 2021However, the Congress celebration has rubbished these claims and accused the BJP of smearing their marketing campaign within the poll-bound state. Congress leaders went to nice lengths by threatening to tug this matter to the Election Commission.Assam Congress chief Bobeeta Sharma mentioned, “BJP is rattled. As people are connecting with the Congress and looking for progress to come back, the BJP, bereft of any issue to sell to people of Assam after their game of promises, is resorting to such false propaganda against us.” The Congress chief added, “And if intentionally utilizing, then it’s unlucky {that a} Minister is resorting to false propaganda. We are submitting a grievance to EC.On the opposite hand, India Today fact-checked the declare by Congress and found that each the images utilized by the celebration for its social media marketing campaign are from Taiwan fairly than Assam.Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on her latest go to to Assam, rubbed shoulders with some tea backyard staff and took photos with them. While talking at a rally, she promised to hike the day by day wages of the tea staff as much as Rs 365 to garner their votes as a result of out of 126 constituencies in Assam, 42 seats (about one-third) are dominated by the tea staff’ neighborhood.However, one should surprise how the folks of Assam are going to take Congress significantly when the celebration can’t even recognise the folks or the cultural heritage of the state.
