Guwahati, 2nd March: Former legislator and BJP leader from Nalbari, Assam, Ashok Sarma, has voiced his dissatisfaction with the seat-sharing arrangement in the Lok Sabha constituency.
Sarma, speaking to the media, expressed his dismay, stating, “I was elected as a legislator due to people’s love, and now not getting a ticket due to ignorance from the party…In today’s age, there is no democracy left in the party due to fear of being sacked.”
Highlighting the 2021 assembly election as an example, Sarma claimed that despite mass appeal and popularity, the saffron party only garnered 55,000 votes.
He criticized the government’s approach of attracting voters through appealing schemes, stating, “Today, only because of the beneficiary, the party is neglecting its workers…the country has been constantly under huge debt.”
Sarma, while asserting his commitment to the party, mentioned that those who migrated from other parties to BJP will eventually return, underscoring the importance of patience.
Regarding the Lok Sabha seat allocation, sources suggest potential candidates for various constituencies, but the official announcement is awaited.
