Assam: Empower Rural Bharat with Strong Panchayats: Sarbananda Sonowal

A CORRESPONDENT

DIBRUGARH: In a high-energy campaign drive today, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal vigorously campaigned for BJP and its ally candidates in the Duliajan, Naharkotia, and Tingkhang constituencies.

Addressing the public at key locations, including the Gahhi Phukanbari Playground in Duliajan, the Gorguri Public Meeting Ground in Naharkotia, and the Bamunbari tea garden area in Tingkhang, Sarbananda Sonowal highlighted the rapid development brought about by the BJP-led government and urged voters to elect the party’s candidates for continued progress.

The Dibrugarh LSC MP, Sarbananda Sonowal, emphasised, “Empowering rural areas through strong Panchayats will lay the foundation for lasting development. The overwhelming support and affection shown by the people today is deeply appreciated. United, we will propel the journey of equal development, dignity, and progress forward. Our road to achieving Viksit Bharat must go via strong grassroots democracy with vibrant and active Panchayats in rural India.”

In his address, senior BJP leader Sarbananda Sonowal referred to the ‘unprecedented support’ BJP and its allies have already received in the ongoing Panchayat elections, saying, “This is the season of Bihu, a time that holds immense significance in Assamese culture. It is a time for blessings and unity. I urge voters to support our candidates with their full heart in this historic election. Opposition stands no chance as the wind is blowing in favour of the BJP and its allies. People believe in the good governance delivered by PM Narendra Modi ji and this journey towards welfare and development under Modi ji will continue with stronger Panchayats.”

Speaking further, Sarbananda Sonowal asserted that BJP’s commitment to rural empowerment is unmatched, calling it a crucial part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for a self-reliant India. “We must start this journey of self-reliance ‘Atmanirbhar’ from the villages,” Sonowal declared. Sonowal highlighted the government’s initiatives in rural India, such as free cooking gas, electricity, housing, sanitation, and more, which have significantly improved the lives of millions of families.

Sonowal also critiqued the Congress-led government’s long tenure, stating, “Under Congress rule, after 55 years, the benefits of their welfare schemes remained mere slogans. The BJP government, in contrast, has not only provided basic facilities but also worked tirelessly to complete unfinished projects left behind by Congress. People have not forgotten the misgovernance of Congress which was characterised by rampant corruption, incessant inefficiency & nepotism. Congress has lost its spot from the people’s imagination.”
