Guwahati, April 28: Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia on Tuesday cautioned party members against using derogatory language on social media, asserting that terms like “Chiprang” and “Gaddar” are not part of the party’s culture and will invite disciplinary action.
In a statement issued from the party’s state headquarters, Saikia said instances had come to light of some members venting anger online using such expressions. “Social media is not a platform for resentment. Such language goes against the ethos and values of the BJP,” he said, urging karyakartas to maintain dignity and decorum at all times.
He made it clear that discipline is “non-negotiable” within the party and warned that any deviation from its code of conduct would lead to strict accountability.
At the same time, Saikia expressed strong confidence in the electoral prospects of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, predicting an “unprecedented and historic victory.” He attributed this optimism to what he described as a high voter turnout during the April 9 polling, particularly among indigenous communities.
According to Saikia, more than 90 percent of the party’s traditional support base exercised their franchise, reflecting a “positive social and political environment” in the state.
He also credited the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for what he termed an “inclusive wave of development,” adding that voters had backed the continuity of this progress.
The remarks were communicated through an official statement issued by party spokesperson Ranjib Kumar Sarmah.
Saikia said the enthusiasm witnessed during polling is expected to translate into a higher seat tally for the BJP, potentially surpassing previous records.
