BJP supporters at the party office in Guwahati GUWAHATI: If the 2016 election revolved around Narendra Modi and his vow to free the state of infiltrators, the 2021 election was all about the identity of Assamese and indigenous people. Development and employment were lesser issues. Assam, except the Bengali-inhabited Barak Valley, erupted in protests in December 2019 when the Centre passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.

In Assam, which shares a long border with Bangladesh, angry protestors declared the new law would spell the death knell for the Assamese identity.
