Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma sharply criticised Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for a social media post mocking Uttar Pradesh's examination system. The controversy erupted when Tharoor shared an image on X (formerly Twitter) of an alleged exam answer sheet. The question asked, "What is called Uttar Pradesh?" with the answer, "The state where the answer is known before the examination is called Uttar Pradesh." Tharoor captioned the post "Fabulous #examinationdiscussion." Responding on June 23, CM Sarma accused Tharoor of "satirizing various cultures" and claimed he had "succumbed to the beguiling whispers of lunacy." Sarma wrote, "This gentleman frequently indulges in satirizing various cultures (first Northeast and now UP) with remarkably caustic words. He has succumbed to the beguiling whispers of lunacy, his mind adrift in the ethereal mists of derangement." Manipur CM N Biren Singh in Assam to Discuss Security Issues Along Jiribam-Cachar Boundary with CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
