BJP state president Dilip Saikia publicly rebuked the Congress party after the Election Commission clarified the SIR issue.
Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia launched a sharp criticism of the Indian National Congress following a recent clarification issued by the Election Commission of India on the SIR matter. The clarification, which addressed procedural concerns raised during the election process, was intended to clear ambiguities surrounding the issue.
Saikia said the Congress was attempting to politicise the commission’s clarification and divert attention from its own performance in the state. He urged the party to focus on governance rather than exploiting technical rulings for political mileage.
Political analysts noted that the exchange underscores the heightened tension between the two parties in Assam ahead of upcoming electoral contests, with both sides keen to shape public perception of the commission’s role.
The BJP’s state leadership reiterated its commitment to upholding the Election Commission’s decisions while calling on the Congress to respect institutional processes.
