BJP never deprives anyone in the name of religion, says CM Sarbananda Sonowal

GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal who took part in an election rally at Batadroba for BJP candidate Angoorlta Deka said that the voters in this years' election should take a pledge to make Atmanirbhar Assam and therefore re-elect the BJP led government to run the state.

Addressing the rally, Sonowal said that the BJP-led government in the last five years introduced good governance in the state in contrast to the nose deep corruption, nepotism and poor performance of the previous Congress led government. As a result, the people living in Barak, Brahmaputra, hills and plains were deprived of their rights and privileges. However, in the last five years the beneficiaries across the state enjoyed the benefits of the government schemes thus ending the years' of 'middlemen' culture propagated by the Congress.

Stating that the 60 years Congress rule made the state backward, Sonowal said that the Congress did not try to project Assam as one of the most developed States in the country. The BJP led government ending years of uncertainty scripted new success stories and took Assam altogether to a new height. He also said that without any discrimination the BJP led government adopting the principle of Sabka Saath Sabka Bikash and Sabka Viswas has been serving all sections of the people with its programmes and policies.

Although the opposition parties from time to time put their allegations branding the BJP as the communal party, no body belonging to minority community was deprived of their rights. Everybody belonging to religious community enjoyed the benefits of the government schemes. As against the Congress which patronized middlemen culture and corruption for providing any government schemes, the BJP led government eliminated corruption enabling people of all sections to receive government schemes.

Sonowal also said that in reality BJP is the only secular party and this party never deprived anybody from any religious affiliations of his or her rights and privileges. He said that during the Congress led government the state was afflicted with riots in the name of caste, community, creed and ethnicity. Many lives were lost in those strife.

Later, Sonowal addressed election rallies at Kaliabor, Golaghat, and Dhakuakhana and campaigned for the BJP and its alliance partners.
