APCC Chief Warns BJP Against Religious Politics

APCC president Bhupen Borah criticized BJP for alleged religious polarization, warning it could cost them Assam. He cited Congress wins in Hindu-majority states like Himachal, Karnataka, and Telangana. Despite BJP’s Panchayat poll sweep, Borah downplayed Congress’s loss, blaming narrow margins and lack of power-based advantages. He stressed Congress’s focus on people, not divisive politics, countering CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s claims of BJP gains in minority areas.
