He mentioned that continuing their alliance in Delhi and Dispur, the BJP extended support to BPF leader Biswajit Daimari to be elected to the Upper House.
Despite being coalition partners, the BJP, AGP, and BPF had contested the panchayat elections separately.
“In the BTC elections, we will contest solo and are confident of forming the government,” Rupam Goswami said.
When asked about the status of the BJP in Khalingduar BTC constituency where he carried out a survey and collected a ground zero report, Goswami said, “The present Member Council of Legislative Assembly (MCLA) is bound to lose the seat as the BJP candidate will win it by a huge margin.”
He said BJP’s main electoral plank will be the maintenance of peace along with the continuation of the development process in the BTC region, making it even faster and assurance of equal opportunity for all communities.
