The BJP’s Assam unit has dissolved its minority cell after the party’s poor performance in Muslim-dominated constituencies of the state in the assembly election.
In an order issued by Assam BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass, the party said that the minority cell has been dissolved for an indefinite period of time.
GUWAHATI: BJP dissolved its minority cell in Assam on Wednesday, blaming it for the party drawing a blank in seats dominated by migrant Muslims in the just-concluded elections to the 126-member assembly. The party got far fewer votes in those areas than we expected. Even members of booth committees did not vote for BJP - so there is no need to continue with such non-cooperation, state BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass said.
The saffron party had been aiming to win at least seven migrant Muslim-majority seats this time and adopted a focused strategy, including holding booth-level public meetings, to woo the voters.
