Guwahati, March 30: Assam Cabinet Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Ashok Singhal on March 30 expressed strong confidence in the party’s electoral performance in Dhekiajuli, stating that its support base in the constituency has steadily expanded over the past decade.
Speaking to the media during campaign activities in Sonitpur district, Singhal said Dhekiajuli has remained a consistent stronghold of the Bharatiya Janata Party, with the party recording a gradual rise in vote share in successive elections. He added that the BJP expects to further increase its winning margin in the upcoming Assembly polls, attributing this to continued public backing for its governance and policy initiatives.
Singhal also launched a critique of the Indian National Congress, alleging that the opposition has weakened across Assam due to what he described as ineffective leadership and poor candidate selection. According to him, the Congress has failed to present substantial issues before voters.
Looking at the broader political landscape, the minister said he anticipates a decisive mandate in favour of the BJP and its allies under the National Democratic Alliance in the state.
The Dhekiajuli Assembly constituency in Sonitpur district is expected to witness a closely contested battle, with political parties intensifying their outreach efforts ahead of the elections.
