Guwahati: The BJP set its campaign schedule for the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election today. Rupam Goswami, the party's media convenor, laid out the roadmap at the district office in Morigaon. The stakes are high. High-profile leaders will lead the charge to secure the seat.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma joins state president Dilip Saikia on the campaign trail. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika will also headline rallies across the constituency. The party is mobilizing its heavy hitters.
A reporter pressed Goswami on the party's outlook regarding minority voters during the event. The question focused on whether the BJP softened its stance following social media circulation of the Chief Minister’s past comments. Sarma had previously stated that the party did not need "Miya votes" to win. Goswami addressed the query, though his formal response remains undisclosed.
