SILCHAR : Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on March 27 expressed strong confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will return to power in Assam for a third consecutive term, projecting that the party will secure more than 100 seats in the upcoming Assembly elections.
Addressing a public rally at Borkhola Assembly constituency in Cachar district, Sonowal said the BJP’s governance record and development initiatives have significantly strengthened public trust across the state.
“The BJP will comfortably form the government in Assam, and we are confident of winning more than 100 seats. People have seen our work and have faith in our leadership,” he said.
Highlighting the party’s performance, Sonowal asserted that Assam has undergone notable transformation under BJP rule, drawing a contrast with previous governments. He said key decisions taken by the party have contributed to the state’s growth and helped safeguard its identity.
“Historic decisions have been taken for Assam’s development. The people no longer want instability and corruption; they want progress and good governance,” he added.
The Union Minister pointed to various initiatives undertaken by both the state and central governments, stating that these have reached grassroots levels and improved the quality of life for citizens.
Referring to the political landscape, Sonowal claimed that Opposition parties lack both direction and public support, while the BJP continues to expand its organisational base across regions, including the Barak Valley.
“The response from people in places like Borkhola reflects their confidence in the BJP. We remain committed to taking Assam forward on the path of progress,” he said.
Sonowal also urged party workers to intensify outreach efforts ahead of the polls, emphasising the importance of booth-level engagement with voters.
The rally witnessed a significant turnout, with senior party leaders and local candidates in attendance.
The upcoming elections to the 126-member Assam Legislative Assembly are expected to see a multi-cornered contest, with the BJP-led alliance seeking to retain power and Opposition parties attempting to mount a challenge.
