India, July 16 -- Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of acting like a "raja" (king) and warned that prison may not be far off for the BJP leader.

Speaking at a party meeting in Chaygaon, Gandhi said, "Assam CM thinks he is 'raja', but he will be in jail not long before."

The Congress MP further said that Assam CM and his family will be held accountable for corruption by the people of the state.

"Congress won't put him in jail, people will," claimed Rahul Gandhi.
