During a press conference in Bhubaneswar, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma spoke about the current state of the INDIA bloc and urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to not take leadership of a coalition that is essentially "dead" and will never be revived. He also stressed the importance of having a document like the National Register of Citizens to distinguish between Indian citizens and infiltrators.
Sarma also addressed the recent no-confidence motion against Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, which was moved by the Congress party. He accused the party of having a history of making such moves against those who do not align with their beliefs. "The Congress wants to capture the House and stall it even though they are in the opposition," he stated.
He also pointed out that this is not the first time the Congress has brought a no-confidence motion against a leader who does not follow their agenda. He mentioned how former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi insulted then-president Zail Singh and forcefully took the signature of then-president Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed at midnight to impose emergency in the country.
Sarma believes that the Congress party needs to understand that the people of India have rejected them and that the Gandhi family will continue to face defeat in every election. He also expressed his support for implementing a document similar to the NRC to easily differentiate between Indian citizens and infiltrators.
During his visit to the Jagannath temple in Puri, Sarma shared his government's decision to require individuals to have their names registered in the NRC in order to obtain an Aadhaar card. He believes this will further help distinguish between Indian citizens and infiltrators.
When asked about securing the Bangladesh boundary in Assam and West Bengal, Sarma acknowledged the difficulty in erecting fences due to the presence of rivers. However, he suggested the use of technology to secure the border and expressed the need for cooperation from the West Bengal government.
He also spoke about the recent attacks on the Hindu community in Bangladesh and expressed hope that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take diplomatic steps to ensure their protection. Sarma criticized the Congress party for not standing with the Hindu community and causing communal disturbances in the country.
Sarma also expressed his support for the "one nation, one election" system, stating that it would prevent developmental works from being disrupted during elections. He believes that the Prime Minister will work towards implementing this system by making necessary amendments to the Constitution.
When asked about the fate of the BJD party in Odisha, Sarma confidently stated that their era has ended and the BJP government will remain in power for at least 50 years. He believes that the Prime Minister will work towards bringing about this change.
