Dilip Saikia rallies Sonitpur: NDA's commitment to Assam's development unwavering

GUWAHATI, April 23: Reaffirming the BJP’s commitment to national welfare and regional progress, Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia on Wednesday declared that the party remains “dedicated and determined every moment” for the people and the country. He made the remarks while addressing two high-energy campaign rallies in Sonitpur district ahead of the 2025 Panchayat elections.

The rallies, organized in support of NDA-backed Zila Parishad candidates from Manchiri, Balipara, Phuloguri, Phulbari, Thelamara, Borgao, and Bihguri under the Rangapara and Barchala Assembly constituencies, drew thousands of attendees. Saikia praised the enthusiasm of what he described as “development-focused citizens ready to take Assam forward.”

In his speech, Saikia credited the “transformative leadership” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for ushering in a new era of development across the state. “From infrastructure to healthcare, from rural uplift to digital connectivity—Assam is moving ahead rapidly under the NDA government,” he said.

He highlighted targeted efforts to uplift historically marginalized communities. “The tea garden workers, indigenous tribes, and all native communities are at the heart of our governance priorities. We’re not only protecting their rights but actively working for their social and economic empowerment,” Saikia said.

Saikia urged voters in Rangapara and Barchala to ensure the NDA’s continued success by casting their votes for alliance candidates in the upcoming Panchayat elections. “To strengthen the base of rural governance, secure lasting development, and continue this journey of progress, it is essential that we elect leaders committed to grassroots change,” he said.

Also present at the rallies were several senior BJP leaders including MP and former state party president Ranjit Dutta, BJP state general secretary Pallab Lochan Das, Sonitpur District BJP president Madhusmita Hazarika, MLA Krishnakamal Tanti, and other key party figures.

With the Panchayat elections looming, Saikia’s rallying cry centred on a unified, development-first agenda, linking local governance with the broader national vision of a “Developed India.”
