Key themes from Himanta Biswa Sarma’s campaign speech: “In Assam, the Muslim population was only 20% 40 years ago, but the Congress government kept the border open, and now Muslims have become 40%. Today, Muslims constitute 30% in West Bengal, but they are not from the country and have come through the border. If the border remains open, in 20 years Muslims will become 50%. You have seen atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh; if we do not stop ‘ghuspaithiyas’ from coming to Assam and West Bengal, our situation will also be similar to that of Hindus there. We need to build big walls on the border to stop ‘Bangladeshi Muslims,’ and we need a BJP government to do that.”
