In unusual trend, narcotic substances worth more than ₹34.29 crore have been seized
Elections in Assam have often been associated with the doling out of ‘BMWs’, a coded contraction for blanket, money and wine.
Going by the seizures by various enforcement agencies, the ‘BMWs’ appear to have lost out to narcotic drugs during the ongoing poll.
Between February 26, when the model code of conduct came into force, and March 31, the enforcement and regulatory agencies seized cash, illegally transported liquor and other items worth a record ₹110.83 crore.
