Guwahati, 2nd October: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasized that the BJP remains committed to the welfare of all communities.
He suggested that the party would appreciate support but wouldn’t actively seek votes from the ‘Miya’ population in riverine sandbar areas until they bring about positive changes such as discontinuing child marriage practices.
Sarma expressed his intention to encourage this transformation over a 10-year period and encouraged families to prioritize education and family planning.
He also mentioned a plan to establish schools and colleges in minority areas to ensure equal educational opportunities.
In his words, “It can’t happen that minority students won’t get a chance to study. We will open seven colleges in minority areas in the coming days.”
