Gaurav Gogoi says "We came together to build a new Assam"
BJP candidate from Sonarpur assembly constituency, Rupa Ganguly says,
"... I have been visiting Sonarpur for many years because my father and mother lived there, and I bought the house for them. My parents did not have a home of their own, as everything we had was in Bangladesh.
"From the time I began working, my only wish was to buy a house for my mother. For the past 30 years, I have been going there, and I know all the problems of that area. It will be my responsibility to address these needs and problems...".
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says,
"You (BJP) cannot defeat Mamata Banerjee. Defeating Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal is not just difficult, it's impossible. The entire BJP knows this... That's why they have taken complete control over West Bengal... Why don't these transfers and postings happen in other states?... The people of the country are with Mamata Banerjee...
We are all with her, and once again, Mamata Banerjee will be victorious in West Bengal."
Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, wife of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, says," This will be his second term, and the people are overwhelmed by the work and change Assam has seen. Today we are here to go for the second term, that too with a sweeping majority."
Assam Minister & BJP Candidate, Pijush Hazarika says,
"... I am thankful to my senior leaders for giving me the opportunity to file my nomination. I have already served three terms as a legislator in the Assembly, and if I win this time, it will be my fourth term. I appeal to the people to give us your support, to strengthen the BJP, to empower Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and to bless Himanta Biswa Sarma for a second consecutive term as Chief Minister...".
Pijush Hazarika offered prayers at the Deosal Temple before filing his nomination for the upcoming assembly elections.
On BJP's prospects in Keralam Assembly Elections 2026, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says,
"They are pretty much non-existent, they are a 0-seat party...The elections are going to be between UDF and LDF, and LDF has represented 10 years of misgovernance, while we represent the most credible alternative for change..."
He also says, "We used to be called a model state - the Kerala model and today we have become the debt model... We need to completely revive the economy and give people a chance that they will stay and see a future in their own state..."
