Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma commented on the Congress' handling of Dr. Manmohan Singh's final journey, stating, 'I just want to say that Dr. Manmohan Singh was a great leader who served our country immensely. The way Congress has politicized his final journey reflects their very poor mindset.' He further added, 'This same Congress party disrespected Pranab Mukherjee when Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister, and Rahul Gandhi insulted him, which is well-documented. Congress has no issues to focus on, so they have started playing politics even in this matter.' Sarma criticized Congress for using such a solemn occasion for political gain, highlighting the party's lack of relevant issues to address.
