Assam Chief Minister D.r Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday asserted that the issue of ‘Doubtful’ (D) voters of Bengali-Hindus of the state will be resolved in six months after the elections.  Addressing an election rally in Hojai under the Kaziranga Lok Sabha constituency, Sarma said that the issue of D-voters of BengaliHindus will be permanently resolved in six months after the elections.

It is to be noted that D-voters are those who could not provide evidence in Favour of their Indian nationality.  At present there are 96,987 D-voters in the state.

The illegal Bangladeshi immigrants issue in Assam is actually the most prominent election issue in Assam. Elections after elections are being fought over the issue. Almost every political party who has ruled the state in the past four decades have spoken about the issue.

Now the statement of CM on the D-voter is also being seen as one of the most important announcement for the state during the current election session.   

Sarma also highlighted in his speech that the BJP-led NDA government's efforts in fostering peace and development in Assam, tackling issues like unemployment and infrastructure deficiencies.
