Guwahati : The Bharatiya Janata Party has rolled out an expansive campaign strategy for the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, deploying 40 star campaigners and scheduling a series of rallies and grassroots outreach programmes ahead of polling on April 9.
State BJP president Dilip Saikia said the campaign will be led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is slated to address four rallies, with the possibility of an additional event.
The list of key campaigners also includes Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union minister Nitin Gadkari, BJP’s Northeast in-charge Nitin Nabin, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal, among others.
According to Saikia, the campaign calendar is “almost finalised”, with senior leaders expected to fan out across the state to participate in rallies and public meetings.
The Home Minister is likely to attend six to eight campaign programmes, while around four events have been planned for Nitin Nabin. Schedules for other senior leaders, including Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari, have also been largely finalised.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is set to spearhead an intensive state-wide push, with rallies planned in constituencies where BJP has fielded candidates, along with roadshows in around 10 seats.
In addition to large public gatherings, the party is focusing on micro-level outreach through programmes at panchayat, municipal, and ward levels. Campaign activities are also being planned in Bodoland Territorial Council areas and autonomous regions such as Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao.
Meanwhile, BJP candidate Ranoj Pegu said the Prime Minister is scheduled to visit Assam on April 1 to address a major rally at Gogamukh. The event is expected to cover multiple constituencies, including Dhemaji, Jonai, Sisiborgaon, Dhakuakhana, Lakhimpur, and Majuli.
Party sources said the BJP will anchor its campaign around its governance record, development agenda, and welfare initiatives, while aiming for maximum outreach within a compressed campaign period.
Special emphasis is also being placed on first-time voters, tea garden communities, and rural constituencies through targeted grassroots mobilisation efforts.
