New Delhi:

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia held a press conference on Saturday and accused Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma of corruption in the PPE kit deal.

After this Himanta Biswa Sarma also gave his clarification on this allegation by tweeting one after the other.

He also said that do not show only half the papers, if you have the courage, give full information.

The Assam CM wrote on his Twitter, "At a time when the entire nation was facing the worst pandemic in more than 100 years, Assam hardly has any PPE kits. My wife has come forward and saved lives." Dare to donate around 1500 free to the government. He didn't take a single penny."

At a time when the entire country was facing the worst pandemic in over 100 years , Assam hardly had any PPE Kits



My wife took the courage of coming forward and donating around 1500 free of cost to the government to save lives



She didn't take a single penny.

In another tweet, he wrote, Manish Sisodia ji, you showed a different look at that time.

You have turned down many of my calls to help the people of Assam stuck in Delhi.

I will never forget this when I had to wait for 7 days to collect the body of a Kovid victim from Assam from the morgue in Delhi.

While you Mr Manish Sisodia at that point of time showed a completely different side.

You refused my multiple calls to help Assamese people stuck in Delhi.

I can never forget one instance when I had to wait 7 days just to get an Assamese covid victim's body from Delhi's mortuary.

Stop sermonising and I will see you soon in Guwahati as you will face criminal defamation.

Earlier, while presenting a document, Manish Sisodia said in his allegation that Himanta Biswa Sarma gave government purchase contracts to the companies of his wife's company and son's partner.

When he was the Health Minister of Assam in 2020, corruption was committed under the guise of Kovid.


Manish Sisodia tweeted, "Honorable Chief Minister @himantabiswa ji! Here is your wife's contract to buy 5000 kits in the name of JCB Industries at Rs 990/- per kit… Isn't it corruption to give purchase order to the company without tender?"

Honorable Chief Minister @himantabiswa ji!

Here is your wife's contract to buy 5000 kits in the name of JCB Industries at 990/- per kit… Tell me, is this paper false?



Is it not corruption to give a tender purchase order to your wife's company as a health minister?
