"Our government has done a lot of developmental work", says AGP chief Atul Bora

AGP chief Atul Bora praises CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's developmental work for Assam election victory, highlights infiltration concerns, and plans meeting with new MLAs.

"Our government, under the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma, has done a lot of developmental work for the state - Atul Bora"

Guwahati, May 6

Following the results of the Assam Assembly election, Asom Gana Parishad president and MLA-elect from Bokakhat, Atul Bora, on Wednesday, expressed his party's satisfaction with the electoral outcome, attributing their victory to the tireless work of the state's leadership.

"Our government, under the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma, has done a lot of developmental work for the state," Bora told ANI.

He further highlighted the critical role of Chief Minister Sarma, who, according to Bora, had worked day and night over the last five years to propel Assam's development. "Since the last 5 years, he has worked very hard, day and night, for the development of Assam," he said.

Bora also revealed plans for an upcoming meeting with the newly elected MLAs, emphasising that six of them were new faces. He stated, "We will chair the first meeting with the newly elected MLAs, of whom 6 are new... the CM contributed a lot to our victory."

While celebrating their success, Bora also pointed out the ongoing challenge of infiltration in the state, which remains a major concern for Assam's indigenous population.

"Infiltration is a major problem for our state," he said, stressing that "indigenous people of Assam fear of becoming the minority as the theory of infiltrators from Bangladesh is to produce more."

Earlier on Tuesday, he announced that the party will convene a meeting of its newly elected legislature. The legislative party meeting is scheduled to be held today.

The decision comes in the wake of the BJP's victory in the Assam assembly elections.

Ahead of the scheduled meeting, Bora asserted that the electorate had voted in favour of the state's development under the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma.

"That is also expected. I told you earlier that we are expecting more seats this time. We won in nine seats in the last assembly poll, but this time we have won in 10 seats. The people have voted in favour of the development of the state under the leadership of Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma. We are holding the first legislative party meeting tomorrow," Bora told ANI.

The BJP created history a day earlier in the assembly polls results, with the party slated to form its first government in West Bengal and the party-led NDA scoring a hat-trick of victories in Assam.

In Assam, BJP secured 82 seats, surpassing the majority mark of 64 by 18 seats, with its regional allies, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland People's Front (BPF), each winning 10 seats. While the Congress, despite its alliance with five other parties, could only manage 19 seats.

AGP winning 10 seats is good, but let's be honest - the real credit goes to BJP's wave. Sarma sir has been a workhorse, I'll give him that. But Atul Bora should also talk about unemployment and floods, not just development. Assam needs jobs for its youth, not just politics.

Infiltration is the elephant in the room that no one wants to address properly. Our government talks about it but NRC and CAA are still hanging. Indigenous people of Assam have every right to be scared. Development is good, but identity is everything. 🙏

Happy to see AGP doing well! Atul Bora is right - Himanta Biswa Sarma has transformed Assam's infrastructure. But I wish they would focus more on riverbank erosion and flood control. Every year we lose so much land and lives. Development should include disaster preparedness too.

Six new MLAs is a positive sign - fresh blood brings new ideas. But the BJP-AGP alliance needs to deliver on promises. People voted for development, not just slogans. I hope the upcoming meeting focuses on healthcare and education, not just seat-sharing. 📚

BJP creating history in West Bengal and Assam - that's impressive. But for Assam specifically, I worry about the communal angle. Development should unite communities, not divide them. Atul Bora mentioning infiltration is a dog whistle that concerns many secular citizens. We need balanced leadership.
