A political outreach across the state
The Jan Ashirwad Yatra was launched by the Chief Minister from Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur district of Assam on 28th February. The journey of the party’s election campaign covers more than 400 kilometres and includes important Assembly constituencies of Assam.
In a statement, Suranjan Dutta, BJP state spokesperson, said that the Jan Ashirwad Yatra has created huge public enthusiasm, and the programme has also boosted the morale of party workers at the grassroots level.
According to him, the programme of the party is not just a political campaign, but it also represents public support for the development works undertaken by the state government. Dutta said that the initiatives taken by the government in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and cultural activities have encouraged people to come forward and express their support.
Dutta also mentioned that the government’s eviction drives to reclaim encroached land and protect the rights of indigenous communities have received appreciation from many citizens in the region.
The Jan Ashirwad Yatra will continue through several constituencies in the coming days and is scheduled to conclude on 9th March. Party leaders believe the public response seen so far reflects growing support for the BJP as it prepares for the upcoming Assembly elections in Assam.
