Guwahati, July 22: The Assam unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday declared that eviction drives across the state will continue unabated until every inch of illegally occupied land is cleared.
The party called the campaign “the final battle to safeguard the very existence of Assam.”
“This is not just administration—it’s history in motion,” said Assam BJP spokesperson Kalyan Gogoi, reinforcing Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s hardline stance. “Those who think a few eviction drives will make us retreat are mistaken. We will not stop until the sacrifices of the 855 martyrs of the Assam Movement are fully honored.”
Gogoi praised the ongoing anti-encroachment operations as vital for protecting the future of Assam’s indigenous communities. He accused the Congress party of decades-long betrayal through what he termed “vote-bank politics,” alleging it enabled illegal settlements by Bangladeshi migrants on protected lands for electoral gains.
“Because of Congress’s long-term conspiracy, the Assamese are now facing an existential threat in their own land,” Gogoi said. “Chief Minister Sarma has taken an uncompromising stand to defend Assam’s identity, language, culture, and political rights.”
He further alleged that the Congress had systematically altered Assam’s demography through orchestrated migration and encroachment, thereby diluting the indigenous population to sway electoral outcomes. “This was no accident—it was a calculated effort to transform voter bases and hold onto power,” he said.
“Election after election, we see more representatives of Bangladeshi origin entering the Assembly. This is the legacy of Congress’s agenda,” Gogoi added.
Citing historical figures like Lachit Borphukan, Gopinath Bordoloi, and Bishnu Ram Medhi as defenders of indigenous rights, Gogoi accused the Congress of insulting their legacy by distributing protected lands to illegal settlers.
As eviction drives expand, Gogoi claimed that the Congress’s “anti-indigenous, vote-driven politics” is being unmasked. He challenged the opposition party to stop supporting infiltrators and instead stand with the real people of Assam.
“The Assamese are an indomitable people. They have never accepted subjugation—and never will,” he said. “Under Chief Minister Sarma’s leadership, the BJP will ensure that the pride and dignity of Assam’s people are protected for generations to come.”
