Sarma highlighted the party’s strategy to secure a considerable portion of the Muslim vote bank, stating that half of the state’s Muslim electorate has already cast their ballots in favour of the BJP in the completed constituencies. He attributed this support to the recognition among Muslim voters that the BJP’s agenda is beneficial to their interests.
