In a powerful social media statement, the AJP framed the Chief Minister’s rhetoric as a betrayal of women’s dignity, calling it the ultimate evidence of the failure of the "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" slogan.

• The political firestorm in Central Guwahati has reached a fever pitch as the regional Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) issued a scathing rebuttal to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s personal allegations against their candidate, Kunki Chowdhury and her mother. In a powerful social media statement, the AJP framed the Chief Minister’s rhetoric as a betrayal of women’s dignity, calling it the ultimate evidence of the failure of the "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" slogan. The party asserted that the talk of women’s empowerment has withered away in the face of a desperate political conspiracy designed to smear a "daughter of Assam" just six days before the April 9 polls.
