Assam CM Sarma: 'Miya' Vote United, 'Our Votes' Scattered

Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the votes of Bengali-speaking Muslims ('Miyas') are united, helping them move forward politically.

He thinks pressure should be kept on illegal settlers to stop them from moving further into the state.

He blamed the Congress for not giving land rights to Bengali-speaking Muslims when they were in power.

The BJP, which he leads, will have to work with three other parties in the next assembly elections.
