Kolkata, April 25: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that every Indian has a stake in the ongoing West Bengal assembly elections as Bangladeshi infiltrators were not only causing demographic change in the state but also spilling over to adjoining states.
Sarma said the BJP will win over 100 of the 126 seats in Assam, and will bag 110 of the 152 seats that went to polls in the first phase of polls in West Bengal.
Sarma said the West Bengal assembly election was not a routine state poll but a contest with civilisational implications for the entire nation, particularly its eastern and northeastern states. “Every Indian has a stake in this election. The impact of infiltration is not limited to West Bengal and Assam. It is spilling over to Jharkhand, Bihar and other states,” he said, responding to the TMC’s narrative of branding BJP leaders as outsiders. (PTI)
