"BJP will win in Assam by breaking all previous records": Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis predicts hat-trick

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis predicts a historic third term for BJP in Assam under PM Modi and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's leadership.

"I believe that the BJP will win in Assam by breaking all previous records. - Devendra Fadnavis"

Jorhat, March 31

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday predicted a hat-trick win for the BJP in Assam, saying the party will break previous records under Prime Minister Modi and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's leadership.

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, while talking to the reporters, said, "Yes, BJP is going to strike a hat-trick (in Assam). I believe that the BJP will win in Assam by breaking all previous records. The manner in which, under the leadership of PM Modi, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has worked a very positive wave can be seen in Assam this time. BJP will register a massive victory in Assam."

Earlier, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma asserted confidence in the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming state Legislative Assembly elections.

Speaking with ANI, the CM exuded pride in the Vijay Sankalp Yatra launched by the party in the state and reflected on the people's participation in it. He further took a jibe at the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief, Badruddin Ajmal, and said that the BJP has destroyed the "enemies of the state".

"Our Vijay Sankalp Yatra took place, and a large number of people came and blessed us. We are confident that this time, the historic result will be in favour of the BJP. Whatever Ajmal (AIUDF chief) says, politically, we have completely destroyed the power of the enemies of Assam. Next time, I will end the remaining as well," he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the state has witnessed a complete turnaround under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), asserting that no local "indigenous Indian" will vote for Congress in the single-phase assembly polls scheduled to be held on April 9.

Speaking on the current political scenario, Sarma told reporters here, "We have completely turned around Assam. Today, people are seeing a new Assam, based on our strong culture and heritage. People, except Bangladeshi infiltrators, are with the BJP. No local indigenous Indian people will vote for Congress."

Sarma's remarks come amid growing political tensions in the state ahead of the upcoming elections, as the BJP continues to consolidate its position among indigenous communities in Assam.

Assam will witness a fight between the incumbent BJP-led NDA government and Congress for the 126-seat assembly.

The BJP government, led by Sarma, will look to secure a third consecutive term, while the Congress aims to defeat the ruling party to return to power. The Assam Chief Minister is set to contest from his traditional Jalukbari seat.

The polling for all 126 Assembly constituencies will be held in a single phase on April 9, while the counting of votes is scheduled for May 4, the Election Commission of India announced.

While I appreciate the confidence, I wish political discourse focused more on policy promises for the next term rather than just predicting victory and targeting opponents. What's the concrete plan for youth employment and women's safety in Assam?

Fadnavis is right. The Modi-Sarma combo is very strong. The work done in the border areas and for indigenous communities has created a lot of goodwill. Congress seems to have no narrative here anymore.

Interesting to see a Maharashtra CM commenting on Assam polls. Shows the national party machinery is fully active. The language used about "enemies of the state" and "infiltrators" is quite strong, though. Hope the campaign remains issue-based.

As someone from the Northeast, I can say the focus on connectivity and integration with the rest of India has been a game-changer. The BJP's focus here is different from the Hindi heartland, and it's working. A third term looks likely.

The confidence is sky-high! But let's not forget the power of the voter. April 9 will tell. Every election is a fresh mandate, not a foregone conclusion. Jai Hind!
