Guwahati, Sep 3 (NationPress) The Deputy Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly and prominent BJP leader Numal Momin expressed strong assurance on Wednesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will maintain its governance in the state until 2047.
Momin vehemently criticized the Congress, referring to it as a 'rotten egg', and forecasted that the historic party would secure no more than 15 seats in the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections.
In a media briefing, Momin highlighted the BJP’s unwavering commitment to grassroots preparedness, describing it as an ongoing effort throughout the year.
He elaborated on the party’s vast organizational framework, pointing out that workers at each booth consistently engage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat'.
This initiative ensures ongoing interaction and is complemented by regular meetings at mandal, booth, and district levels across all constituencies.
Momin showcased a recent large rally in Guwahati, attended by Union Home Minister Amit Shah along with various Panchayat representatives, as evidence of the BJP's strong organizational capabilities.
He stated that the party is always prepared for elections, in stark contrast to rival parties like the Congress and regional entities, which he accused of becoming proactive only during election periods.
Accusing the Congress of engaging in 'minority appeasement politics', Momin argued that such tactics would backfire, confining the party to a limited number of seats. He asserted that voters are astute and can perceive the lack of genuine grassroots efforts.
He further criticized the Congress for its alleged history of corruption, contrasting it with the BJP's advocacy for digitalization and Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT), which he claimed have significantly reduced corruption.
The Assam Assembly speaker also condemned Congress leaders for showing leniency towards illegal infiltrators in a bid to attract minority votes.
In conclusion, Momin dismissed the Congress' prospects throughout the entire Northeast, citing its previous 'misrule'. He affirmed that the populace has placed their confidence in the BJP for its development, peace, and economic upliftment agenda.
