Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a sharp political attack on the Congress, backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's criticism that the party is repeatedly trying to relaunch the same leadership model. Taking a swipe at Congress' portrayal of leadership and youth politics, Sarma remarked that if a 57-year-old politician can be considered Gen Z, then he too should qualify as Gen Z because he is also 57 years old.
