A fresh controversy has emerged in Assam as opposition leaders and civil society groups allege that recent constituency delimitation has reduced Muslim representation ahead of upcoming elections. Critics argue that boundary changes have fragmented minority-dominated areas, potentially weakening their electoral influence.
The Election Commission maintains that the exercise was conducted transparently, based on population data and administrative convenience. However, several political parties claim the process lacks fairness and disproportionately impacts certain communities.
Analysts say the issue could shape campaign narratives and voter sentiment in key constituencies. As the state moves closer to the polls, the debate over representation, fairness, and electoral integrity is expected to intensify across Assam’s political landscape.
