LS Polls in Assam: CM Sarma’s blazing campaign trail in Barak valley

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged the BJP workers to connect with voters at the grassroots level only to make sure that they find reasons to go to the polling booth and vote for the BJP on the day of general election next month.

Addressing a couple of meetings of the BJP functionaries and workers in Karimganj and Silchar (SC) on Monday, he appealed to the common people to keep bestowing their love and blessings on the BJP.

On a day-long visit to Barak Valley, the Chief Minister interacted with the party workers in Karimganj in the presence of the party candidate and sitting MP Kripanath Mallah and in a similar way, he also interacted with the BJP workers of Cachar district alongside Parimal Suklabaidiya, cabinet minister in the state government and the BJP’s candidate for the Silchar Loksabha seat, which has been reserved following the delimitation of the constituencies.

The Assam CM claimed the BJP will emerge victorious in both the two seats in Barak Valley in the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

“In Silchar, BJP candidate will win by a margin of around 2.50 lakh votes and in Karimganj, party candidate Kripanath Mallah will win by around 1.5 lakh votes,” CM Sarma claimed.

“I have had talks with the party workers and candidates for both the Silchar and Karimganj Lok Sabha seats and we are confident that in both seats we will win by a thumping majority. For the Silchar seat, Parimal Suklabaidiya is a formidable candidate, as he has years of political experience behind him. He has been a leader loved by all with no taints whatsoever and I am happy that he will represent the prestigious Silchar Lok Sabha seat. Also, Kripanath Mallah is a sitting MP and we are all confident that we will win both seats in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. I will be visiting Barak Valley during the filing of nominations for both candidates,” CM Sarma added.

Assam CM predicts BJP and allies will secure 13 out of 14 parliamentary seats in upcoming polls, criticizing Congress’s candidate list. Asom Gana Parishad, UPPL also in the race.
