“Assam will become one state where all MLAs will support state and central governments. People are very happy with the kind of work the PM is doing in Assam. The state government is trying to complement it. It’s a double engine government,” Sarma said.“As far as the mind and the heart are concerned, there is no opposition in Assam. It is because of certain compulsions that they are in the opposition. Now, people are coming closer to us by breaking the compulsions,” he said, adding that not just these MLAs, but all those in the state Congress headquarters ‘Rajiv Bhaban’ are with BJP.The CM claimed that no MLAs are now with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He also said that Gandhi was not undertaking ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ but ‘Bharat Todo Anyay Yatra’. “These (Congress) MLAs are now with me. This is a gift for Rahul ji,” the CM said.In a similar development in neighbouring Meghalaya, some suspended Congress MLAs had extended their support to the National People’s Party-led government in 2022, and then joined the party ahead of polls.Sarma predicted BJP would win 11 of Assam’s 14 Lok Sabha seats by huge margins of votes. “If you convert it to Assembly segments, we will win from 100 of the state’s 126 Assembly seats,” he said.
