Assam Assembly elections fight for protecting 'swadesh', 'swajati': Himanta
Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Assam, stated that the upcoming Assembly elections will be a fight to protect the state's 'swadesh' (nation) and 'swajati' (own community), as well as its identity, land, and culture. He accused the Congress of fostering a "polarisation" that has led to an influx of Bangladeshi infiltrators, claiming that their population is estimated to reach 40% by 2027. Sarma argued that this poses a threat to the Assamese people's identity and urged voters to support the BJP as they are the only party capable of protecting Assam from these threats.
