Election season begins! While seeking blessings is important, I hope the conversation moves beyond symbolism. We need concrete answers on job creation for youth and controlling price rise. The 'election songs' are fun, but our votes need substance.

Starting from a temple sets the right tone. Development and culture go hand in hand. Dr. Sarma's government has worked hard for Assam's peace and progress. This yatra will surely remind people of that. Jai Ai Asom! 🇮🇳

Interesting to follow Indian election campaigns from abroad. The scale of connecting with one lakh people daily is massive! It's a very direct form of democracy. Hope the outreach is inclusive and listens to all sections of society.

The work in the last 5 years, especially in health (like the AIIMS) and education, is commendable. But sir, please also focus on the tea garden workers' welfare during this yatra. Their votes matter too.

A political yatra just before elections is standard practice. Let's see if the promises made in the last yatra were fulfilled. Accountability is key. The public is smarter now and will judge on actual work, not just speeches.
