Earlier on April 6 in an election campaign at Titabor Bokahola Bagisa in Jorhat Sarma showcased his lively persona at an election rally in Titabor Bokahola Bagisa. Sarma's spirited performance saw him dancing to the beats of a popular Jhumur song, igniting enthusiasm among the gathered supporters.

The campaign rally, held in support of Topon Kumar Gogoi, the BJP candidate for the Jorhat parliamentary constituency, witnessed Sarma's fervent participation, as he clapped and danced alongside party members and supporters.

Himanta Biswa Sarma hits out at Opposition 

During the campaign Sarma took an aim at the Congress' election manifesto, condemning what he perceives as appeasement politics. In a scathing remark, he accuses the opposition party of attempting to divide society for political gain, likening their manifesto to one designed for elections in Pakistan.

Look back at the past results 

Reflecting on past results, in the Lok Sabha elections of 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured 7 of the 14 seats in Assam. Both the Congress and the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) claimed three seats each. During the 2019 elections, the BJP increased its seat count to 9, while the Congress maintained its three seats, and the AIUDF won a single seat.
