Akhil Gogoi, speaking on behalf of the United Opposition Forum, called for the resignation of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Gogoi claimed that even if the attack occurred without CM Sarma's knowledge, he remains responsible for failing to maintain law and order during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.

Accusing the BJP-led government in Assam, Gogoi asserted that the state is not under a jungle raj but is rather being governed in a dictatorial manner resembling Hitler's regime, emphasizing the need for CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's resignation.
