‘Bihar approves Gobi farming’: Assam min’s post sparks row for ‘alluding to 1989 Bhagalpur riots’

Assam minister Ashok Singhal’s post on “gobi farming” after Bihar poll results has sparked outrage from the Congress. The opposition alleges the imagery alludes to the 1989 Bhagalpur violence, where victims were reportedly hidden under cauliflower plantations. Congress leaders condemned the remark as “vulgar and shameful.”
