Assam Cabinet Minister and BJP's key strategist for northeast Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said the party remains committed to the Citizenship Amendment Act in Assam even though it is not at the forefront of the issues related to the coming assembly election in the state. The BJP has built its campaign on the development issue, which it feels have more resonance in the northeast which has carried the perception of being othered by the mainland for decades. "We are committed to the CAA, (though) it is not a poll issue in Assam," Mr Sharma told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
