Himanta’s strategy behind BJP’s impressive show in Assam
The Hindu
Chief Minister’s clean image and State party president’s grassroots coordination were factors too
Assam Finance and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s poll strategy is believed to have paid dividends for the BJP and its allies for the second straight time. The clean image of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and the grassroots coordination of State BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass, given a long run by the party leadership, have been factors too. The three won their respective seats — Jalukbari, Majuli and Patacharkuchi — comfortably. A fallout with former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi forced Dr. Sarma to quit Congress and join the BJP in 2015. The saffron party lost no time in letting him guide the 2016 poll campaign after nine of his loyalists in the Congress followed him to the BJP.
