Guwahati: During a campaign rally in Cooch Behar, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma presented the Bharatiya Janata Party’s governance in Assam and Tripura as a model for West Bengal’s future. Central to his address was the issue of border security, where Sarma criticized the Trinamool Congress administration for allegedly failing to curb illegal infiltration. He advocated for the installation of electric fencing along the borders and asserted that the BJP has successfully managed migration in states where it currently holds power.
Sarma further targeted the state government on economic issues, claiming that his administration in Assam has provided two lakh merit-based jobs over the past five years. He pledged that a BJP-led government in West Bengal would fill five lakh vacancies within a single year, emphasizing a transparent, corruption-free hiring process. Additionally, he highlighted the expansion of welfare programs, pointing to Assam's free ration distribution and comprehensive health coverage as examples of the support residents could expect under BJP leadership.
Addressing local concerns, the Chief Minister dismissed claims that his party intends to ban meat consumption, noting that no such restrictions exist in Assam. He also reiterated that the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code remains a primary legislative goal for the party. Concluding his visit with a strong show of confidence, Sarma predicted significant electoral success for the BJP, setting a target of 100 seats in Assam and 200 in West Bengal.
