Ahead of Assam’s elections, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has increasingly emphasized governance, development, and welfare initiatives rather than identity-based politics. The state’s final electoral rolls show a total of 2.49 crore voters, with Muslim-majority districts such as Barpeta, Morigaon, and Bongaigaon recording notable increases. Analysts suggest the BJP’s strategy may aim to broaden outreach in middle and lower Assam while maintaining core support in traditional Assamese heartlands.
