Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on June 19 said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is preparing for the next year’s Lok Sabha elections with a focus on constituencies in Northeast in which the incumbent MPs are from other parties.
BJP Preparing For Next Year’s Lok Sabha Elections
While talking to reporters after a closed-door meeting with the ‘vistaraks’, Himanta Biswa Sarma said, ”This meeting is of nine constituencies of Northeast. It will continue till tomorrow. I was asked to address them on two issues and I did that.”
However, Sarma did not specify the issues that he addressed during the meeting. He said the constituencies chosen are those in which the BJP doesn’t have sitting MPs and the incumbents are from the Congress.
”These constituencies need more focus. Jana sampark (public relations) and Jana sabhas (rallies) are happening in such seats across the country,” he said.
Nagaon, Kaliabor and Barpeta, representatives of the three Lok Sabha constituencies from Assam, have participated in the meeting. On Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s proposed visit to Hojai, Sarma said it is currently planned for June 29.
