“Voters have backed us”: Assam BJP chief

way2barak, April 30: State BJP President Dilip Saikia on Tuesday expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP would secure a decisive and unprecedented mandate in the Assam Assembly elections, attributing the outcome to strong voter participation across the state.

In a statement, Saikia said a large turnout of indigenous voters during polling on April 9 had strengthened the democratic process and created favourable conditions for a sweeping victory. He maintained that a significant portion of the party’s traditional support base had exercised its franchise, reflecting widespread public backing.

Highlighting the role of governance, he stated that the leadership of Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma had driven inclusive development across the state, which, he claimed, had translated into electoral support for the party. He further asserted that the scale of participation during polling would likely result in the BJP surpassing its previous electoral performance.
