Assam, where Home Minister Amit Shah is conducting a roadshow at this moment in Silchar, Assam, as a part of the party's outreach and a campaign for the local elections union. Home Minister is in Assam and his hold this roadshow visuals of this. In fact, at this moment on your screens, let me go across to my colleague Rotan C, who is joining us with more details. Rode Assam, of course, quite a key focus as far as the D and the BJP is concerned. A big roadshow there by that's right. In fact, Amish has started his campaign in Assam for the phase two polls. Remember, there would be seats like this one, Siler, where he's holding the road show. It's adjacent seat, Karim, DGD and Noga. Very key five seats going to polls in the second phase and therefore Amish holding this roadshow at Siler, very important stronghold of the BJP town, which was once between the fifties to the eighties Congress stronghold and then BJP story started gaining ground there. Remember in the nineties, BJP won the Sil seat for the first time, and at that point of time, Kinrara Kaist became a union minister in the first BJP government led by Bach. And then, of course, the Sil seat again became a Congress stronghold through the de family. Santosh Moe first and then his daughter and switch over from the Congress to Congress. And now Congress is seen as a weak force. Remember last time in 2019 SUSMITA. They have lost the seat to BJP's Dr Raj Roy, who has not been given ticket this time. BJP Rather has given ticket this time to sitting Cabinet minister in Sharma Cabinetk, who is an old hand of R in the region, somebody who has worked at the grassroots and therefore through this road show, you know, trying to reach out to his core voters. If you see in the first phase he did the roadshow in Tinsukia again, an area where you have a core BJP voters today in Siler, which is the biggest town of the Barak Valley region. Remember last year there was a massive flood in this area, so there has been a bit of resentment against the government in the way the handled the flood at that point of time. In Sil, however, Barak Valley is also a Bengali dominated area and there is a sharp religious polarisation also in this area, therefore BJ really focusing in this area. Remember only earlier this week. Mamta Bei has also campaigned in Barak Valley and Silchar is one seat where Congress is testing and therefore there is a triangular fight but therefore therefore perhaps union home minister, really starting his second phase campaign in Northeast throws a stronghold and trying to send out a message to the voters and rejuvenating its car because winning more than 12 seats out of 14 in is a target that BJP has set for itself.
