GUWAHATI: BJP officially took charge of the Tiwa Autonomous Council (TAC) in central Assam with the elected members taking oath of office on Wednesday.
Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal attended the “Kritagyata Samaroh” ceremony at Morigaon where North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) convener Himanta Biswa Sarma said 2021 assembly polls will be the battle to safeguard Assam’s civilization from illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators and “Miya culture”. Jiban Chandra Konwar has been picked as the new chief executive member of the newly elected TAC where BJP registered a thumping win.
“The measures taken by the BJP-led government to make Assam free from illegal immigrants by sealing the India-Bangladesh border has silenced illegal foreigners. Since people of Assam have accepted this government as their own, we have been winning one election after another,” Sonowal said.

NEW DELHI: While the year 2019 would be remembered for the victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA in the Lok Sabha elections, 2020 would be recalled as the year when the BJP made handsome gains in the polls held for local bodies across the country. Moreover, while the BJP also won the Bihar assembly elections, Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) decisively won the Delhi state polls for the second consecutive term.
The year would also be remembered for the elections which were held during COVID-19 times. The Delhi assembly elections were held in February, when the pandemic had not yet become a threat. By the time the Bihar polls were held in October-November, the coronavirus disease had started receding after reaching its crescendo.
