Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari shared a moment at Assam's swearing-in ceremony, hinting at a shared concern over infiltration, indirectly targeting West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.

Photos showed the two BJP leaders hugging and laughing, underscoring their camaraderie. Sarma's playful remark, “Bad days for....(You know who),” was met with Adhikari's response, “No Prizes for Guessing, I guess,” and a smiling emoji, alluding to Banerjee without naming her.

This interaction highlights the growing alignment between the BJP governments in Assam and West Bengal on the issue of infiltration, a major political concern for both states. Sarma has consistently focused on Assam's crackdown on illegal immigration, while Adhikari has sharpened the rhetoric on border security and demographic changes in West Bengal.

The public display aims to project a coordinated regional narrative on national security and identity politics, contrasting with Banerjee's stance.

The moment comes as both states increasingly frame infiltration as a key administrative and political issue, with both leaders presenting themselves as central to the BJP's campaign against it in eastern India.
