Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a series of BJP rallies across the state, stating that the party would not tolerate Congress's alleged attempts to undermine democracy.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the Bharatiya Janata Party would organise a series of rallies throughout the state to counter what he described as Congress’s attempts to undermine democracy. The announcement was made during a press briefing in Guwahati, where Sarma outlined the party’s plan to mobilise supporters across key districts.
Sarma said the rallies would serve as a platform to highlight the alleged anti‑democratic activities of the opposition and to reaffirm the BJP’s commitment to democratic values. He added that the party would not tolerate any actions that threaten the democratic fabric of the state.
While specific dates and venues for the rallies have not yet been released, the state government indicated that the events would be held in major towns and rural areas alike. The move follows a series of accusations by the BJP against Congress leaders for alleged attempts to influence electoral outcomes.
The announcement comes amid escalating tensions between the two parties in Assam, with the ruling BJP accusing Congress of attempting to destabilise the state’s political environment. The rallies are expected to be a significant display of the BJP’s electoral strength in the region.
