Donkamukam: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, while campaigning for BJP candidate Horensing Bey of No.3 Diphu ST Parliamentary constituency at the massive rally at Kheroni West Karbi Anglong, said that Prime Minister Modi was serious about implementing Article 244(A).
“Recently a team from Karbi Anglong met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and the Prime Minister assured the delegation team to have talks after the election, indicating that he is serious about the implementation of Article 244(A) of the Indian Constitution,” Sonowal said and added, “It is a long-standing demand of the people of the hills district of Assam and all their hopes and aspirations lie in this Article.”
Sonowal appealed to the people of Assam to maintain peace and unity among all sections of the society for progress and to build a better and beautiful Assam. “We are all secure now under Prime Minister Modi from all external threats,” he said.
KAAC CEM Tuliram Ronghang in his speech lauded Chief Minister Sonowal for increasing the fund and sanctioning special budget of Rs 260 crore for development of sports infrastructure for 26 MAC constituencies. “During the Congress term no such special package was received. Soon we will be inaugurating medical college and engineering college,” the CEM said.
Earlier, more than 3,000 members of other political parties led by former EM George Millick, former MAC Chandrasing Ronghang, Harsing Phura and Nobin Sangma joined the BJP.
