Border fencing is very important, especially in West Bengal.”He said, “We will get 100 seats in Assam and 200 seats in West Bengal.”Sarma also criticized Banerjee over alleged cow smuggling in West Bengal and said the BJP would curb it if voted to power. He further said that meat has never been banned in BJP ruled states.He said, “Every day, the ritual of animal sacrifice is performed in Maa Kamakhya (temple in Guwahati), but meat has not been banned in Assam.
