After Rahul Gandhi referred to Himanta Biswa Sarma as the ‘most corrupt chief minister’, the latter hit back at Congress leader saying, ‘most corrupt family of the country - Gandhi family of Congress.’

       Soon after 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' entered Assam, Gandhi on Thursday commented that perhaps the "most corrupt government" in India is functioning in the state

       "Today BJP and your chief minister (Himanta Biswa Sarma) are dividing Assam. Maybe, the most corrupt chief minister in the country is the chief minister of Assam."

       “You know what is happening here. We will raise the issues of Assam during the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'," he told party workers.

       Later, the Assam CM reacted to the comments saying, “The Gandhi family is the most corrupt family in the country. This is not 'Nyay Yatra, it's 'Miya Yatra'. Wherever there are Muslims, they visit those places," Sarma was quoted as saying by PTI.

       Miyas refer to Muslims who migrated to Assam from what is now Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan), occurring in successive waves over time."
