Assam CM Praises Karnataka MLA’s Criticism of Semiconductor Plant

The war of words between Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Karnataka MLA Priyank Kharge took an unexpected turn when Sarma praised Kharge’s remarks on Assam’s semiconductor plant project. Kharge criticized Assam’s ecosystem for such a project, but Sarma viewed it as validation of Assam’s development progress.

Sarma emphasized that being compared to Karnataka, a global IT hub, highlights Assam’s growth. The proposed Rs 27,000 crore Tata semiconductor plant in Jagiroad is expected to create major employment opportunities in the region.
