A new controversy has emerged in the politics of Assam, where Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuyan Sharma has completely rejected the allegations of Congress leader Pawan Kheda and warned of criminal action against him.

Responding sharply to these allegations, Riniki Sharma posted on social media platform X calling them completely “fake”. He alleged that Kheda had tried to spread lies through “doctored documents”.
In his reply, he sarcastically wrote, “You are not only lacking in penance, but also in AI generation and photoshopping,” this comment was a sarcasm on Kheda’s 2022 statement in which he had talked about penance if he did not get the Rajya Sabha ticket.
Riniki Sharma further said that Kheda, being the spokesperson of a national party, should have checked the facts. She clarified that now she will take the legal route. “I will now let the law take its course. Criminal cases are being registered. Further discussion will take place in the court,” she said.
