Guwahati: The Assam Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party on November 22 asserted that the forthcoming 2026 Assembly Elections will fundamentally be a decisive contest between the indigenous Assamese populace and the Miya Muslim community of East Bengal origin. The Party emphasised that the very future, security, and civilisational continuity of Assam is intrinsically linked with this electoral battle. Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma has taken bold and historic measures to safeguard the indigenous identity of Assam. He affirmed that in the seventy-seven years
Since Independence, no government has ever succeeded in accomplishing what the present government has achieved under the dynamic leadership of CM Sarma, the party said.
Several monumental initiatives, Granting Classical Language status to the Assamese language, the unprecedented effort to bring the sacred Vrindavani Vastra, the immortal creation of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva, back to Assam, Sukafa University, Construction of a grand and monumental statue of Bir Lachit Borphukan at Jorhat, Establishment of a University in the name of Freedom Fighter Kanaklata Barua,Pursuing UNESCO recognition for the Charaideo Maidams and many other historic undertakings that the people of Assam had been deprived of for seventyseven long years. “These milestones were impossible earlier because successive Congress party governments were engrossed in the politics of appeasing the East Bengal,origin Muslim community. Hence, the genuine rights and aspirations of the indigenous people were completely neglected,” BJP said.
Taking a direct jibe at the Congress state BJP said CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s uncompromising stance against child marriage, love jihad, and land jihad marks one of the most crucial steps taken in favour of the indigenous Assamese community.
Parallelly, the BJP government has also ensured the security of the state by vigilantly guarding Assam against infiltration. “No Bangladeshi infiltrator can now remain in Assam. Each day, such illegal entrants are being pushed back across the border. It reiterates that no one can now illegally encroach upon government lands, satra lands, forest lands, water bodies, PGRs or VGRs in the state.
The saffron party said that the government, under CM Sarma’s leadership, Assam has already freed over 1,30,000 bighas of encroached land, a landmark achievement that strengthens Assam’s future. These decisive actions, coupled with the unprecedented pace of development visible across every sector, will shape voter sentiment in the upcoming Assembly elections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party will proceed with full confidence, placing before the people both the extraordinary development initiatives and the robust measures taken to protect indigenous rights. In the past two days, a series of extensive strategy meetings were held in the presence of National General Secretary (Organisation) BL Santhosh, joined by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Former Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, State BJP President Dilip Saikia, Assam BJP In-Charge Harish Dwivedi, and Union
Minister Pabitra Margherita, along with district in-charges, co-in charges, spokespersons, panelists, constituency coordinators, and various office bearers of the organisation, marking the Party’s comprehensive preparation for the upcoming Assembly elections.
