BJP national president JP Nadda on Friday had termed Congress as a communal party while addressing a public meeting as a part of the election campaign in Assam.
Nadda has addressed three rallies in the state today while Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Wadra failed to mark her presence in the poll rallies after her husband tested Covid-19 positive due to which she had to isolate herself.
In the third phase of polling in Assam, the fate of candidates on the 40 seats would be sealed.
During an address in Patacharkuchi, BJP chief said, "Presently Congress is going through mental bankruptcy and politics of opportunism. it has also become a communal party and I am saying this with full responsibility."
He further maligned the image of Congress and said that the party is not at all contesting on its own. "in Kerala, they are contesting in alliance with Muslim League, in West Bengal their partner is Abbas Siddiqui (Indian Secular Front) and in Assam Badruddin Ajmal (president of All India United Democratic Front) is their ally," he said.

Not only this but, he also termed Congress duo-leaders as political tourists who were occupied visiting religious and tourist spots in Assam without considering the problem faced by the natives of the state.
Nadda assured the Assam people that his party has enforced welfare schemes for the tea-garden community by the Sarbananda Sonowal government and accused the Congress party of not being able to resolve the troubles faced by the community.
JP Nadda later in the day addressed a rally at Boko and in Guwahati.
