Union Home Minister Amit Shah has predicted a record win for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Assam assembly elections.
Addressing a gathering of BJP youth workers in Guwahati, Shah said the massive turnout of nearly 125,000 youths from 31,400 polling booths across Assam indicates a clear victory for the party.
The BJP, which has been in power since 2016 and 2021, is seeking to retain power for a third consecutive term.
Shah highlighted the state government's achievements in the past five years, including the creation of 165,000 government jobs, a promise of 100,000 made in 2021.
He also accused past Congress governments of not respecting Assam's language, heritage, and culture, and failing to curb terror outfits.
Shah assured that once the BJP returns to power in Assam for the third time, they will detain and deport illegal infiltrators not just from the state but from every corner of the country.
