‘People will benefit only if grassroots government is formed properly’: Sarbananda Sonowal

A CORRESPONDENT

GAURISAGAR: The people of the country have gained nothing except corruption during the 55 years of Congress rule in the country and the party had no character and no leader. This was stated by Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, while addressing a election rally at Sudhakantha Dr Bhupen Hazarika Suwarani Mancha, Napukhuripar on the outskirts of Gaurisagar in Sivasagar district today.

Addressing the gathering, former Chief Minister Sonowal said that only a leader with patriotism can bring about radical change in the country and that virtue is seen in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said, “During the ten-year rule of PM Modi, India transformed from Sab Ka Saath Sab Ka Vikas policy to universal democracy and became the fifth largest economy in the world. The country’s 25 crore poor people have benefited from the 10 years of good governance of the world’s most popular leader Narendra Modi. Free toilets, electricity, drinking water, cooking gas connections, etc. are being provided free of cost.”

Sonowal said that the Panchayati Raj system is essential for rural areas and its main goal and objective is to establish social justice and economic empowerment and that therefore, the people will benefit only if the grassroots government is formed properly.

The meeting was organized for the campaigning of the BJP-supported ZP and AP members of Rongpur, Konwerpur, and Charing Mondals under 96 No. Sivasagar Assembly constituency. Earlier, Bitupon Raidongia, President, BJP, Sivasagar District Committee, delivered his welcome speech while Secretary Chandrajit Borgohain anchored the meeting.
