Illegal Settlers Changing Assam's Demography: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

He however claimed that the people who were evicted from Darrang district of the state were also planning to grab the Sipajhar assembly constituency.

Sarma said that out of the 10,000 people in the area, 6,000 do not have their names even in the preliminary NRC.

"Their common thought is to turn around the demography and emerge as the majority to take control of power at Dispur by 2050," Sarma said.

He further said that if his government can stop this from happening then it will be a big achievement for them.

Earlier, Referring to the recent eviction drive against the illegal encroachers in Dholpur, Sipajhar in Darrang district recently, the Bodoland Janajati Suraksha Mancha (BJSM) has demanded that the eviction should be carried out against encroachers in tribal belts and blocks in Assam and BTC as per provision of strong land laws. The president of the BJSM, Janaklal Basumatary said that they fear that the evicted people may enter tribal belts and blocks as they have been witnessing a magical increase in numbers of the families in Kokrajhar while a section of displaced people gets rehabilitated. He said that the Government is not evicting the illegal encroachers of tribal belts and blocks in Assam, particularly in BTC despite having strong provision of Assam land law in chapter-X inserted in amendment of 1947 of the Assam Land and Land Revenue Regulation 1886.
