Assam BJP Saturday launched the 'Jan Ashirwad Yatra' across the state in view of preparations for the upcoming Assembly polls.

Speaking on the occasion, BJP MP Pradan Baruah said, "The Jan Ashirwad Yatra is starting from today. In this program, along with our Chief Minister, national leaders and state committee members will also be present. The objective of this journey is for our Chief Minister to go to the common people, meet them, and seek their blessings. Through this, people will get information about the work we have done in the last 10 years, especially the work done by our Chief Minister in the last 5 years. Our party is making efforts to make this journey successful."

One of the participants said, "The Jan Ashirwad Yatra begins today. We wish the yatra great success, as it is intended to connect with the people of Assam and seek their blessings and support."

To establish direct contact with people across every region of Assam, the "Jan Ashirwad Yatra" will commence under the leadership of CM Sarma and state party President Dilip Saikia.

The yatra will begin at the Gupteshwar Temple, aiming to connect with one lakh people daily. The party has already announced an eight-day initial phase of the programme, which will continue until March 9.

According to the State BJP, through this yatra, the developmental and welfare initiatives of both the Central and State Governments will be taken to the people, while also seeking the blessings of the citizens of Assam for the forthcoming assembly elections.

Election season has started early! Jan Ashirwad Yatra sounds like a massive outreach program. Connecting with one lakh people daily is ambitious. Let's see if they can actually listen to grievances and not just give speeches.

Starting from a temple is a smart move, culturally it resonates. But the real 'ashirwad' (blessings) will come only if people feel their lives have improved in the last 5 years. The roads in my town are better, I'll give them that.

Interesting to see the political strategy unfold. Releasing election songs and now a state-wide yatra. The BJP's campaign machinery is very organized. As an observer, the focus seems to be heavily on the CM's personal brand.

With all due respect, these yatras often become just showpieces. I hope this time they have a proper mechanism to note down people's problems in Dhekiajuli and beyond. We need solutions, not just promises before elections.

Development work in Assam has been visible, especially in bridges and connectivity. If this yatra is about informing people about those projects, then it's good. But it should also be a two-way conversation. Jai Assam!
