“Pawan Peda Bana Dunga”:
Himanta Biswa Sarma Slams Pawan Khera
Amid Legal Showdown
By Streak English News April 7, 2026
The political atmosphere in Assam has reached a boiling point as Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a blistering verbal attack on senior Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera. Using a play on the Congress leader's name that has since gone viral, Sarma quipped, "Pawan Khera ka main Pawan Peda bana dunga" (I will turn Pawan Khera into a Pawan Peda).
While the remark sounds like a simple pun, the context behind it is far from sweet. The comment comes amidst a high-stakes legal battle and police raids that have sent shockwaves through the political corridors of Delhi and Dispur.
The Trigger: Allegations Against Riniki Bhuyan Sarma
The latest flashpoint began when Pawan Khera leveled serious allegations against the Chief Minister’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma. Khera claimed that she possessed multiple passports from different countries, including a UAE passport, and held substantial undisclosed overseas assets.
CM Sarma dismissed these claims as a "foreign-influenced misinformation campaign" and alleged that the documents presented by Khera were fabricated, potentially sourced from a Pakistani social media group to influence the upcoming 2026 Assam Assembly elections.
Assam Police Action in Delhi
Following an FIR filed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma for defamation and criminal conspiracy, the Assam Police conducted a search at Pawan Khera’s residence in Nizamuddin, New Delhi, today (April 7, 2026).
The Raid: Reports suggest that "incriminating material" was found during the search.
The "Vanishing" Act: CM Sarma took to social media and public rallies to claim that Khera had "run away" to Hyderabad to avoid questioning, stating, "He ran away from Guwahati yesterday."
Political Reactions
The Congress party has hit back, labeling the police action a "witch hunt" and a "bully tactic" by the BJP-led state government to muzzle the opposition's voice ahead of the April 9 polls. Meanwhile, BJP supporters have hailed Sarma’s "Peda" remark as a sign of a leader who is unafraid to dismantle the opposition's narrative.
Streak English News Perspective
As Assam prepares to vote, the discourse has shifted from infrastructure and development to a fierce personal battle. Whether Sarma’s "Peda" remark is seen as witty banter or a sign of an escalating political vendetta, it has undoubtedly become the defining soundbite of the 2026 campaign.
