Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal rallies support for BJP candidate Debashish Sharma ahead of the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election.
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has launched a vigorous campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate, Debashish Sharma, ahead of the crucial Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election. During intense election meetings held across multiple locations, the Union Minister sought to consolidate voter support for the party in the region.
High-Octane Campaign Across Nagaon and Morigaon
The campaigning blitz saw Sonowal addressing massive crowds at the Daul Mandir premises in Dalonghat, Morigaon, and at Dhing Gate within the Batadroba constituency. Emphasizing the role of women in society, Sonowal described them as a vital source of strength and empowerment.
He highlighted the progress being made under the dual leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in Assam. According to the Minister, continuous development is reaching every corner of the state, spanning from the hills to the plains, benefiting all sections of society.
BJP Leadership Joins the Battle
The campaign featured a heavy presence of top BJP leadership, reinforcing the party's push for a decisive victory:
- Dilip Saikia (BJP Assam Pradesh President): Appealed to voters to choose the lotus symbol to continue the nation's journey of inclusive development under the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.” He criticized the Congress party for decades of alleged exploitation in Assam.
- Rameshwar Teli (Assam Cabinet Minister): Urged the electorate to provide a strong mandate to Debashish Sharma.
- Biswajit Daimary (Assam Cabinet Minister): Participated in meetings at Dongabari and Baghjap in the Jagiroad constituency.
- Tuliram Ronghang (Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council Chief Executive Member): Conducted four separate meetings in the Jagiroad constituency, including Kuranibari, Hatiutha, Buragaon, and Pabhakati.
The Road to October 6
As the election draws near, BJP workers have intensified their grassroots activities, operating at the mandal and booth levels across all Assembly constituencies within the Nagaon Lok Sabha seat. This massive mobilization follows the filing of nomination papers by Debashish Sharma earlier this month.
The political stakes are high as the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election is scheduled to take place on October 6. Voters will head to the polls to fill the vacancy, with the counting of votes slated for October 9. The Election Commission of India had previously announced this schedule as part of a series of elections covering various states including West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
Candidate Debashish Sharma has formally sought the blessings and cooperation of the people of Nagaon, aiming to carry forward the development agenda championed by the BJP leadership.
