We guarantee that within 100 days, we will punish the accused in the Zubin Garg case and action will be taken.”Targeting the central leadership, Rahul Gandhi also alleged that the governance of Assam is being controlled from New Delhi.“Donald Trump controls Narendra Modi, and Narendra Modi and Amit Shah control your Chief Minister.
