Ahead of panchayat elections, BJP leader and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma mocked Congress' distribution of dhotis and suggested that the party should pick a 'lungi' as its symbol. Reacting to it, Congress suggested that BJP should pick 'Godse's revolver' as its symbol, referring to Nathuram Godse's assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Elections will be held in two phases next month.
