After Stunning Win In Minority Stronghold, Assam BJP Eyes 5 Such Seats

So far as Assam is concerned, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the BJP has maintained its winning streak

After the by-election win in longtime Congress stronghold Samaguri, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is eyeing for victories in five more minority-dominated seats in the next assembly election.

"Our focus is always on minority votes, but with appeasement to none and justice for all, which reflects Sabha Saath, Sabka Vikas. So we will continue to go to the minority areas seeking votes, but with a clear notion that we are not here to appease. We are here to provide you justice," Mr Sarma said.

"We won Karimganj in the Lok Sabha polls and in my assessment, it was the best result and most critical because in the context of Assam, nobody expected that the BJP will win the MP seat in Karimganj where 65 per cent people is religious minority," he said.
