Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's 2018 tweet has come back to haunt the Indian National Congress (INC) party.

Back in 2018, Gogoi had said that National Register of Citizens (NRC) is his brainchild. In a tweet, he wrote, "The NRC is my brainchild. There was no such demand in the state, there was even in the Assam Accord about the setting up of NRC. During the Congress regime, there were objections that multiple illegitimate people were given the right to vote, that is why NRC was set up."

BJP's IT cell head, Amit Malviya has shared Gogoi's old tweet. He asked the Congress party that would it disown Gogoi as the party is now opposing NRC. He wrote, "Tarun Gogoi is still with the Congress and close to Sonia Gandhi. Will the Congress disown him?'
