Northeast Desk, 2nd April: Balijan town, situated on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, witnessed a significant surge in support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as over 200 families pledged their allegiance to the party. The event, held in the Tubung and Balijan Panchayat segments of Lower Balijan, marked a decisive moment as locals rallied behind BJP candidate Tana Hali Tara, the former MLA of Doimukh constituency.
A diverse array of communities, including members of the Karbi and Nyishi communities, among others, showcased their support for the ruling party. This mass joining program underscores a burgeoning optimism for improved development prospects under the BJP’s leadership.
Residents highlighted tangible advancements witnessed in the region during the BJP’s tenure over the past five years. Notably, crucial infrastructure projects, particularly bridges previously in a state of disrepair, have been successfully completed. These developments have significantly bolstered communication links between Balijan, Tarasso towns, and surrounding areas. Such progress is pivotal for addressing longstanding connectivity challenges in the region, particularly during the summer months when flooding in the flat plain topography often impedes access to essential services.
