BJP s Assam strategy: Disregard Miya Muslims, re-doing NRC lists and rally in key areas
SECTIONS
Share
Synopsis
The party is making its presence felt in key pockets like the latest visit planned by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 6 to the tea estates of Assam. Over 8 lakh tea workers will be provided Rs 3000 each through direct benefit transfer wooing the tea tribes, a crucial support base for the BJP in Assam, who are a determining factor in at least 30 assembly seats.
GUWAHATI: As Assam gears up for the assembly polls, the ruling BJP is harping on a three-pronged strategy to retain its Eastern bastion –– creating a divide among the Muslims by asking only those from Assam to vote for them while disowning Muslims from Bangladesh; leveraging the political dividends from PM Modi-Shah and Nirmala Sitharaman’s visits to the state; and insisting on redoing the NRC lists, if large-scale anomalies are found in the re-verification exercise.
