Assam CM Says He Wants Social Transformation Of Minorities
Speaking to news agency PTI, the Chief Minister provided insights into key election issues and the Bharatiya Janata Party‘s outlook for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Assam.
He stressed that while topics such as polygamy and child marriage may not be central to the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in Assam, they hold critical importance for instigating social reforms within minority communities.
“Our aim is genuine development for the minority community. Whether they choose to support us at the polls is secondary,” CM Sarma said.
He anticipated keen competition in three out of the 14 Lok Sabha seats contested by the BJP-led NDA. Nonetheless, the Chief Minister exuded confidence in the BJP’s ability to secure resounding victories in the remaining 11 seats.
