In a rallying cry ahead of elections, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to social media on Sunday, imploring citizens to support BJP for its steadfast dedication to women’s upliftment statewide. ‘One vote can change families and strengthen women’s voices,’ he posted on X, underscoring the transformative potential of electoral choice.
Sarma highlighted how BJP’s governance has centered on female empowerment, with policies designed to fortify women’s positions in society. The ‘BJP for Assam’ vision places Nari Shakti at its heart, evident across all governmental efforts. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to intensifying welfare and development drives benefiting women in future years.
‘Vote thoughtfully – choose BJP,’ Sarma advised, linking this appeal to the upcoming assembly polls. The BJP regime’s track record includes groundbreaking schemes for women’s financial independence and enterprise.
Orunodoi stands out, disbursing Rs 1,250 monthly to over 19 lakh women from vulnerable households, channeling aid directly to empower them in family matters and daily needs. Complementing this, the MMUA equips rural women with seed funding and guidance, aiming to uplift 12 lakh individuals into entrepreneurship.
The Lakhpati Baideo initiative provides escalating support to SHG members – Rs 10,000 initially, scaling to Rs 50,000 by year three – fostering lasting micro-businesses and income growth. Experts observe women voters’ rising influence in Assam politics, with parties like BJP tailoring messages around empowerment to capture this bloc. Through campaigns, BJP leaders consistently spotlight these successes, positioning women as pillars of progress.
