In a candid interaction with the press in Guwahati, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday labeled the state’s demographic transformations as a ‘wake-up call’ that cannot be ignored. The BJP, he stressed, will prioritize defending assembly segments critical to the state’s survival.
These population shifts threaten to upend social cohesion, erode cultural roots, and hinder economic advancement, according to Sarma. He urged a political approach that safeguards native populations while fostering broad-based growth.
The state government, led by BJP, has relentlessly tackled illegal influx, preserved land rights, and bolstered cultural safeguards. Sarma detailed these measures as foundational to Assam’s resilience.
Spotlighting the BJP’s Jan Ashirwad Yatra, the CM portrayed it as a bridge between governance and the people. Beyond highlighting successes in roads, schools, hospitals, jobs, and welfare schemes, the tour seeks public endorsement and feedback from the ground level.
This engagement will refine policies to better align with citizen needs, ensuring holistic development. Sarma reiterated that maintaining demographic equilibrium and state identity is non-negotiable in the party’s agenda.
Optimistic about sustained public support, he envisioned a stable, thriving Assam where cultural vibrancy flourishes alongside progress. ‘With the people’s faith, we’re building a brighter tomorrow,’ Sarma concluded, reinforcing the BJP’s dedication.
