Sarma also highlighted BJP's promises to improve wages and conditions for tea garden workers in Assam, contrasting with allegations against the TMC government.

In a fiery political address, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accused West Bengal's TMC government, led by Mamata Banerjee, of facilitating illegal immigration from Bangladesh. Speaking at an election rally in Alipurduar district, Sarma praised BJP governments in Assam and Tripura for preventing such infiltration.

Sarma alleged that the TMC government opposes border fencing and highlighted an ongoing demographic shift favoring Bangladeshi Muslim populations while Hindu numbers decline. He emphasized BJP's success in securing Assam borders and criticized Banerjee's administration for its alleged lack of action for tea garden workers.

The Assam CM also rejected claims from TMC that BJP would restrict dietary choices in West Bengal, inviting Banerjee to enjoy various cuisines in Assam. Sarma advocated for BJP's power in West Bengal to manage illegal immigration efficiently, contrasting the BJP's developmental promises in Assam with TMC's alleged failures.
