A month before the assembly elections, the color of politics in Assam has become more intense. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has now left politics of show and openly come down to communal agenda. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Video ego video, in which he is seen talking about “shooting” Muslims, was recently deleted from social media. But the question is that if the video is deleted, will the thought also get deleted?
This video brings out the dangerous face of Assam BJP’s politics. The use of hate language to create fear, polarize and strengthen the majority vote bank before elections is not a new thing, but now this politics has reached the point of openly threatening violence. If a person holding a constitutional post like Chief Minister makes statements like firing against specific communities, it is a serious threat to democracy.
Muslims may be a minority in Assam, but Himanta Biswa Sarma Video they are an important part of the social, cultural and economic fabric of the state. Their repeated calls as βinfiltratorsβ, βillegalsβ and now βdeserving bulletsβ are proof of BJP’s shameless communal politics. This statement is not just an election speech but a direct attack on the peace and law and order of the state.

The most worrying thing is that the video was deleted, but no apology came from the Chief Minister. The party leadership should also maintain silence. This silence clearly indicates that such statements are part of the party’s strategy. To win elections, inciting hatred, creating an atmosphere of division and fear in the society has now become the permanent weapon of BJP.
In a democracy, the responsibility of those in power is not to provide security, but to give threats of bullets. It is now up to the people of Assam to decide whether they will choose development, brotherhood and the Constitution or politics based on hatred and violence. Elections are not only an opportunity to change the government, but also a moment to decide the direction of the society.
