Guwahati: "We Hindus and Muslims are Bhai Bhai. Can't we all live together? We need Land pattas..." a young voter asked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma during an election rally in Sontali in the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
The CM was campaigning in the Muslim-dominated area of the Guwahati Lok Sabha constituency, claiming that the peaceful environment in Sonatal is in BJP's favour when the question was asked.
Addressing the question in Bijuli Kalita Medhi, which is now part of the newly formed Chamaria assembly constituency, the CM replied, "Has anyone faced any problems during Eid? Faced any problems during Roza(Fasting)? Faced any problems offering Namaz? Faced any problems during Hajj ? No! Then why is there a need to dislike Modi? This time, we need to vote for BJP. We need to do a lot of development work in the Chamaria constituency."
He went on to ask if Namaz has not been offered in the last 10 years? "Then what have the Congress been saying for the past 10 years? They should be questioned about why they have been lying for 10 years. Has any Muslim person faced any trouble in Sontali since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister?"
