Sarma hints at Gogoi–Mahanta Nexus, mentions SIT probe into Pakistan links

Guwahati, Oct 7 (UNI) Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today launched a fresh political broadside against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, hinting at a close bond between him and event manager Shyamkanu Mahanta, and alleging that the duo shared a deep political association.
Addressing reporters in Guwahati, Sarma described Gogoi and Mahanta as “bundiya-bhujiya,” a colloquial Assamese term implying inseparable friendship, and urged the public to revisit Mahanta’s Facebook posts during the Jorhat elections to understand the nature of their relationship.
The remarks came even as Mahanta remains under investigation by the CID and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in connection with alleged financial irregularities tied to the North East India Festival and his suspected role in the mysterious death of singer-actor Zubeen Garg in Singapore on September 19.
