Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the BJP will be participating in the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections for two vacant seats in the state on March 16. The party has finalized candidates for these seats and is in the process of strategizing for a third vacant seat.
Sarma mentioned that the BJP will observe the strategies of opposition parties before making a decision on contesting the third seat. The party will formulate its approach for this seat based on the opposition’s moves.
The BJP’s state unit is currently shortlisting three candidate names for approval by the party’s central leadership in New Delhi. Sarma highlighted the importance of the Assam Legislative Assembly’s numerical strength in the Rajya Sabha elections and emphasized a planned and disciplined approach for the polls.
The elections for the Rajya Sabha seats in Assam are scheduled for March 16, with political activities intensifying as the ruling BJP and opposition parties gear up for the polls. The BJP-led alliance is expected to secure two seats due to its majority in the Assembly, while the competition for the third seat may hinge on opposition unity and strategy.
