The recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, according to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, show that the Congress has turned into a party that is exclusively focused on Muslims.

Nevertheless, Sarma stated that the Congress will not disappear for a century unless there is a seat such as Dhubri, where the population is expected to increase by 29% over the next ten years.

“This election has exposed Assam's future. I repeat it all the time: Badaruddin Ajmal is an idol. We see Badaruddin Ajmal and Rakibul Hussain as one person”,  Sarma said in a media interview that other leaders are now adopting the same political stance as Badaruddin Ajmal.

Though we witnessed the opposite outcome in this election, they refer to us as a communal party. There was not a single vote in favour of the BJP in a Muslim seat. Congress received the Muslim votes from the AIUDF. Nowadays, Congress has become a political party supported by 100 percent Muslims.

"We previously stated that the AIUDF was communal; however, all votes were directed at Congress this time," he continued. In Assam, there is just one communal party: the Congress. In Dhubri, Barpeta, and Nagaon, votes were not casted for independent candidates. Furthermore, AIUDF was not successful in garnering votes in certain places. This led to a polarization of the election. However, he went on, Hindus exhibited a secular perspective by voting for all political parties.
