GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Wednesday attended a huge public rally at Patacharkuchi on the occasion of filing of nomination papers by Assam Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Ranjit Kumar Das from the constituency, stated a press release. He said that earnest efforts had been made to fulfil the promises given by the BJP-led State Government while coming to power in 2016.
Sonowal asserted that BJP government in the State had completely transformed the narrative of underdevelopment left behind by the Congress government in Assam in the last five years and it had empowered people from all sections of the society to live a life of dignity. "The BJP has fulfilled the promise of ending the misrule, corruption and favouritism of the earlier Congress government," he added.
Saying that Patacharkuchi area was intellectually developed, Sonowal highlighted how earlier governments never fulfilled the promises made during election campaigning whereas the BJP government had been endeavouring towards fulfilling its commitment of a terrorism-free, corruption free, illegal migrants-free and pollution-free Assam. He also said that the BJP government had prepared the groundwork for making Assam a participant in the race to become a top State in the country and recalled how no work could be done without bribe during the Congress Government time when the public had to pay bribe even to get benefit of government schemes.
He said that now beneficiaries were able to receive government scheme benefits directly in their bank accounts without middlemen and many meritorious poor youths had been given jobs transparently as irregularity and corruption had been removed from the government recruitment system. Sonowal also urged the people to bring the BJP to power again for another five years for making Assam one of the top States. "The BJP-led State Government has shown utmost respect to people's wishes and aspirations and has worked earnestly for finding solutions to key problems in the last five years," he said.
Later on Wednesday, the Chief Minister also attended public rallies at Khowang under Moran LAC, Tingkhang and Sonari and called upon the people to elect the BJP candidates.
