Sarma Says Nagaon BJP Win Could Signal 2031 Sweep

Nagaon has not usually been a strong area for the BJP.
He said the party’s support has grown during the last month of campaigning.
He also said many people have joined the BJP.
According to Sarma, winning Nagaon could show that the BJP is strong enough to win all 126 Assembly seats in Assam in 2031.
Several ministers and an MLA are campaigning for the party there.
Sarma has not yet visited Nagaon himself.
He said the election results will ultimately show whether the BJP’s support has really increased.
