Sarma said, “A report was published during the Yatra questioning if Rahul used body double. However, Congress should have clarified if it was body double or look alike of Rahul.”
He added, “On January 23, the body double was sent out of Assam. If that person was not body double, he should have stayed back and Congress could have said that he is look alike. The individual in question was mysteriously relocated to Delhi and then Bhopal immediately after the controversy erupted.
Highlighting the timing of the relocation, Sarma revealed that the individual remained in Guwahati until the night of January 23, coinciding with Rahul Gandhi's presence in Assam, before being dispatched to other locations.
He added, “During that time there was news that Rahul playing cricket, going to shop. I was bit shocked as to how come such a person with security cover do this. The person was in Jorhat, Majuli, Nagaon and in Guwahati.”
Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi had alleged that Sarma has not made public his allegation. Sarma said, “I thought I will not dig more in this however Gaurav Gogoi asked me as he is upset with Rahul Gandhi for not giving him party ticket from Nagaon, he fired on Rahul using my shoulder.”
Gaurav is given party ticket from Jorhat. He said, “Gaurav wants to defame Rahul. He selected me to target him, Gaurav knows I do not say anything without evidence. I am being used however I choose to be used this time.”
