BJP Flags Demographic Shift, Backs Eviction Drive in Assam

The Assam BJP on Monday claimed unchecked migration by East Bengal-origin Muslims has altered the state’s demography, threatening indigenous identity. Citing census data, BJP’s Rupam Goswami highlighted rising Muslim and Bengali-speaking populations in several districts. He praised CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s eviction drive reclaiming over 1.2 lakh bighas of land and urged stronger action to protect indigenous rights.
