GUWAHATI: BJP dissolved its minority cell in Assam on Wednesday, blaming it for the party drawing a blank in seats dominated by migrant Muslims in the just-concluded elections to the 126-member assembly. The party got far fewer votes in those areas than we expected. Even members of booth committees did not vote for BJP - so there is no need to continue with such non-cooperation, state BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass said.
The saffron party had been aiming to win at least seven migrant Muslim-majority seats this time and adopted a focused strategy, including holding booth-level public meetings, to woo the voters.
