Delimitation will do what NRC, Assam Accord failed to do: CM Assam

way2barak, Jan.2: Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the Election Commission’s (ECI) decision to carry out delimitation in the state is a “breakthrough”. However, the  Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) and All India Democratic Front (AIUDF) of India have opposed this decision and have termed it a political move by the BJP to polarise votes.

CM Assam said, “Delimitation can be one exercise that can safeguard Assam’s future for the next two decades at least,” said Sarma. He further added that the NRC was “unsuccessful” and the Assam Accord also “did not live up to expectations”.
