Sarma, one of the most prominent leaders of the Congress in Assam before joining the saffron party, also said that despite belonging to the 21st century, Gandhi missed a historical opportunity to free the Congress from dynastic and feudal politics.
"By getting ready to file nomination for Congress President in what's a terribly opaque process @OfficeOfRG has humiliated ordinary workers. #ShameYouDynast," Sarma, also the state finance minister, said in his twitter handle.
"Those who dedicated their sweat & blood for @INCIndia are today silently sobbing on such treacherous lack of transparency in party. God bless @OfficeOfRG," said another tweet of Sarma.
The Congress, however, hit back saying Sarma does not know the history of the party.
In the long history of the party, only a few Congress presidents were from the Gandhi family, senior Congress leader Pradyut Bordoloi said.
