GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently discussed the upcoming Lok Sabha elections with the Assam Gana Parishad leaders in their office.

He was accorded a grand welcome by AGP president Atul Bora, working president Keshab Mahanta, and other senior party leaders and workers.

Addressing them, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “The poll bugle is beginning to blow in the state. Our five allied parties—BJP, AGP, UPPL, Rabha Joutho Mancha, and Ganashakti Assam. We will all carry out our responsibilities collectively. This time, the elections will be for development and progress. We will establish India as a Vishwaguru on the global stage. We will take the slogan of development to the people, which can be stated as ‘politics for development’ in PM Modi’s language.”

He also gave a boost to party workers of the BJP, AGP, and UPPL working in the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections.

The CM, after the announcement of the poll schedule, went out of Guwahati for the first time to meet party workers and boost the tempo for the poll campaign.
