Rijiju alleges Rahul Gandhi rewarded Pawan Khera with Rajya Sabha seat for attacking Assam CM
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has alleged that Rahul Gandhi instructed Congress leader Pawan Khera to level "baseless accusations" against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his spouse, Riniki, ahead of the April elections. Rijiju stated that after the claims failed to gain traction, Khera was handed a Rajya Sabha seat as an undeserved reward. Previously, Khera had accused Riniki of possessing several foreign passports and hidden international assets.
