BJP faces challenges in Assam due to Bangladesh-origin Muslim voters in the remaining seats. Support from women voters, Badruddin Ajmal, Congress's mi
India News: GUWAHATI: After the initial confidence of a win in Assam’s five indigenous-heavy LS seats that voted in phase 1, BJP now faces a challenge in the stat.
The party’s pitch to Muslim voters is based on its welfare programmes, caste politics, and, in some cases, fear.
Opposition leaders have mentioned CAA in their speeches but it hasn’t emerged as a major poll plank in Barak or Brahmaputra.
In Assam's Barak Valley, voters will cast ballots for Karimganj and Silchar Lok Sabha seats. Karimganj, with a Muslim-majority population, is an unreserved seat while Silchar is a reserved seat for the Scheduled Castes.
