New Delhi: Illegal immigration is a “tricky and sensitive” issue and the new BJP government in Assam cannot turn a blind eye to it, a pro-RSS journal on Monday said, insisting utilisation of resources for the right beneficiaries without getting tempted to vote-bank politics will be another test for it.
Terming the BJP-led alliance’s win in the state as a victory of nationalist forces against vote-bank politics, the editorial in ‘Organiser’ warned that changing the narrative on the ground is not an easy task and ensuring an accountable and transparent regime is the biggest systemic challenge for the new government there.
“The challenge of changing the narrative on the ground is not an easy task. Ensuring accountable and transparent government in Assam itself is the biggest systemic challenge. “Then utilisation of resources for the right beneficiaries without getting tempted to the vote-bank politics is another test for the new government. Illegal migration is tricky and sensitive issue and new government cannot turn a blind eye towards it,” the editorial titled ‘Beyond electoral rhetoric’ said. The pro-RSS journal also sought establishing the identity of ‘Ashta Lakshmi’ (goddesses signifying prosperity) for the seven northeastern states as propagated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, instead of the colonial ‘Seven Sisters’ narrative given by the British that created psychological distance along with a physical one.
