Cong hatching dangerous conspiracy to protect rights of ‘Miyas’: Assam BJP chief

GUWAHATI: (Mar 26) Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia on Thursday alleged that the Congress slogan of a ‘Natun Bor Asom’ (new Greater Assam) is a "dangerous conspiracy" aimed at protecting the rights of ‘Miyas’ at the cost of indigenous people.

He asserted that the saffron party was taking both visible and subtle measures to safeguard the state and its people, and said these efforts would be conveyed to the new generation of voters.

Saikia also said the updated, final National Register of Citizens (NRC) is not acceptable to the BJP in its current format and maintained that it will be rectified by a BJP government if it returns to power after the April 9 state polls.
