As Assam gears up for its assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held an interactive session with BJP workers across the state, highlighting the party’s grassroots connect. Speaking to local representatives, Modi emphasized the transformation Assam has witnessed since 2016. BJP workers shared that areas previously plagued by instability and unrest have now seen remarkable progress in agriculture, business, and overall civic peace. Pankaj Hazarika from the Sunitpur district’s Nogawan constituency described a tangible shift in local sentiment. He noted that citizens, including farmers and business owners, are experiencing economic growth, stability, and increased confidence in governance. Long-time residents recalled the challenges before 2016, citing lawlessness and unrest, which they now contrast with the sense of security and development brought in by BJP governance. The interaction also underscored the importance of educating younger voters about Assam’s recent history. Many new voters were either too young or not born during the earlier periods of instability, making it vital for party workers to communicate the state’s transformation and the impact of the BJP-led initiatives. The session comes ahead of the first phase of voting on April 9, with results scheduled for May 4. Modi’s engagement reflects a strategic focus on mobilizing grassroots workers and ensuring that both older and newer voters understand BJP’s development narrative. Observers note that such direct outreach is part of the party’s broader effort to consolidate support and maintain momentum in Assam’s politically crucial landscape.
