BJP's Assam strategy: Disregard Miya Muslims, re-doing NRC lists and rally in key areas

The party is making its presence felt in key pockets like the latest visit planned by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 6 to the tea estates of Assam. Over 8 lakh tea workers will be provided Rs 3000 each through direct benefit transfer wooing the tea tribes, a crucial support base for the BJP in Assam, who are a determining factor in at least 30 assembly seats.
