If campaigns aggressively, BJP can win many minority seats : Himanta

way2barak, November 29: Claiming that BJP got 30,000-40,000 votes in every minority seat during the last Lok Sabha polls in Assam due to beneficiary schemes, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the ruling party will be able to win many constituencies if it campaigns aggressively in those places.

In an interaction with media, Sarma said that BJP has not been able to win seats from minority dominated areas because it has not sought votes “aggressively”.

“We did not approach them very aggressively and did not get votes. If we decide to seek votes aggressively (in minority areas), I believe we will be able to win a lot of constituencies,” he said.
