Sharma claimed that Congress represents ‘today’s new Mughals’ does.
He said, ‘Congress is today’s new Mughal. They have objection to Ram Mandir… why? Are they children of Mughals? They support Babri Masjid, but why never speak in favor of Ram Mandir.
He said, ‘Leftist historians have wrongly portrayed that Aurangzeb ruled the whole of India. But today we need to rewrite history. We have to tell that Shivaji Maharaj was 100 times more powerful than the Mughal ruler.
The Chief Minister of Assam further said that he wants to tell the Left and the Congress that Indian history is not defined by Aurangzeb. It is not related to Babur. It belongs to leaders like Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh.
Elections in Karnataka are due soon, although the dates are yet to be announced.
In Assam, Himanta Biswa Sharma has often spoken about the perceived threat posed by illegal immigrants. Critics believe that this is a way to stir up feelings against Bengali Muslims.
In January this year, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma had said that teachers from outside Assam who teach in madrassas will have to attend police stations regularly. He also said that the Assam Police is working with Muslims to “rationalize” madrassa education.
