Half of the state’s Muslim electorate has voted for BJP : Himanta

way2barak, April 27: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said half of the state’s Muslim electorate has voted for BJP in the seats where polling has been completed.

Explaining why Muslims have voted for BJP, Sarma said, “Our govt has worked maximum for the religious minorities. They understood that whatever I have been saying is for their good.”

Sarma confidently predicted that BJP and its allies would win more than 12 seats out of the total 14 in the state, which, if proven true, would be the largest number of seats the party has won in the state so far.

Sarma mentioned that BJP is expected to secure victory in all five seats of Phase-1 poll and four out of the five seats that were contested in phase two. “In one seat of phase two, it is going to be a tough contest,” he said without naming which one.

Sarma is also confident that in the third phase of polling, which will be held in the last four seats on May 7, the BJP and its allies will win three seats and will put up a fight for the remaining one seat.
