The inhabitants development within the subsequent 10 constituencies had been between 40% to 50%, and most of them are Muslim nominated areas.
Among the highest 40 constituencies with the very best development within the variety of voters, as many as 33 had been gained by the Congress-led alliance within the just lately concluded meeting elections. Among these 40 seats, 20 seats had been gained by the Congress occasion, 11 seats had been gained by Badruddin Ajmal led AIUDF, whereas one every was gained by CPI(M) and BPF, a part of the grand alliance led by the Congress occasion. Thus, the Congress-led alliance gained 33 seats among the many 40 seats with the very best development in voters, whereas BJP gained the remainder 7 seats.
This exhibits, the grand alliance gained most of their seats in minority-dominated constituencies with excessive inhabitants development, Congress gained 21 out of its 29 seats, and AIUDF gained 11 out of its 16 seats from these constituencies. On the opposite hand, BJP gained solely 7 seats from these 40 locations, whereas the occasion gained 60 seats within the elections.
The hyperlink between inhabitants development and neighborhood is established extra by the expansion in voter numbers in constituencies that are indigenous and tribal populations. During the identical 2011 to 2021 interval, the expansion within the variety of voters ranged from 10% to twenty% in most of such constituencies. The development price in some such constituencies was as follows- Haflong 13%, Bokajan 14%, Patasarkuchi 15%, Guwahati East 6%, Dharmapur 11%, Sibsagar 12%, Amguri 13% and many others. All these constituencies are positioned in locations which can be dominated by indigenous communities like caste Hindu Assamese and native tribal populations, and the share of Muslims in these locations is decrease.
In a number of constituencies, the proportion of Muslims within the inhabitants has been rising, and the results of the identical may be seen within the election outcomes. As the expansion of voters in Muslim dominated is sort of thrice the expansion price of non-Minority dominated areas, it may be mentioned with cheap certainty that if this pattern continues, Muslims could have extra seats below their management. With this price, it is not going to take a lot time for the state to see a whole change within the demographic profile of the voters.
This exhibits that the priority of Himanta Biswa Sarma is legitimate, and in an effort to stabilise the inhabitants and the demographic profile of the state, Muslims in Assam have to return ahead to undertake contraception meassures. Last month, he had urged Muslim residents of the state to undertake a ‘decent family planning policy’ to take care of grinding poverty and persistent social issues, including that the state shall be endeavor few extra steps to encourage inhabitants management.
“We want to work more for the minority Muslim community to reduce population burden. We want to work together with them so that the population in the state is controlled. The population is the main root of social menace like poverty, land encroachment and we can reduce this social menace if the population is reduced,” Himanta Biswa Sarma had instructed media reporters in Assam.
The earlier BJP govt in Assam had already adopted a inhabitants coverage, which makes folks with greater than 2 youngsters uneligible for presidency jobs and advantages.
