The political fervor in Assam has intensified, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently leading a significant roadshow in Dibrugarh, rallying support for Union Minister and BJP candidate Sarbananda Sonowal. Thousands of BJP supporters congregated during the procession, which traversed approximately 2 kilometers from Chowkidingee Sports Ground to Charali police station through various city routes. The procession, led by Assam’s Gayan Bayan sect, was adorned with diverse musical instruments and captivating dance performances, amplifying the spectacle.
In the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Assam, the BJP is set to contest in 11 out of 14 seats, with its allies, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and UPPL, vying for two (Barpeta and Dhubri) and one seat (Kokrajhar) respectively. The electoral battle unfolds across three phases on April 19, April 26, and May 7, with Assam poised for another dynamic political showdown.
