Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma On Politics Of Population & Polarisation | India Today Conclave 2021

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the BJP does not need votes from the Bengali-origin Muslim community in Assam -- often colloquially referred to as 'Miya' Muslims. Speaking at the 19th edition of the India Today Conclave 2021, Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "I don't want Miya votes, we live in harmony I don't go to them for votes, and they also don't come to me." Himanta Biswa Sarma said many people in the state believe immigrant Muslims are the root cause why Assam has lost identity, culture and land. Himanta Biswa Sarma also said that there was no community-based politics in Assam. #IndiaTodayConclave2021 #ABetterNormal #HimantaBiswaSarma At a time when a crippling pandemic, personal loss and anxiety marked the year gone by, the India Today Conclave promises to bring stories of resilience from those who fought all odds to scale greater heights.
