Assam has huge pro-incumbency in these elections: Baijayant Jay Panda ahead of State Assembly elections

BJP VP Baijayant Panda says Assam has huge pro-incumbency due to PM Modi's focus on development, industrial growth, and security ahead of state polls.

"Assam has a huge pro-incumbency in these elections - Baijayant Jay Panda"

Guwahati, April 5

Bharatiya Janata Party National Vice President Baijayant Jay Panda on Sunday praised the development in Assam over the past few years, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given special attention to the state and the broader Northeast region.

He highlighted industrial growth, employment opportunities and women empowerment as key achievements under the BJP-led government.

"Assam has a huge pro-incumbency in these elections, and the reason for this is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has placed an extreme focus on Assam and the Northeast. Everyone can see the changes that have taken place. Look at new industries like semiconductor factories; there are many opportunities for youth, and much has been done for women," Panda said.

He further emphasised that the people of Assam are firmly supporting the BJP. "The State used to be infamous for being a territorial region of the militants. After the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power, Assam was redesigned from the core. The land occupied by illegal infiltrators has been freed, and thousands of militants surrendered and joined the mainstreamm" he added.

Panda further noted Assam's economic progress. "Assam's GDP is the highest in the country. Prior to 2016, it was known as the State of Militants, and now, under the leadership of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, thousands of militants surrendered and came to the mainstream. The land occupied by the infiltrators here is being freed. The people of Assam have made up their minds to bring the BJP-NDA government back to power,' he said.

The BJP leader also criticised the opposition, stating, "The Congress is falling apart. All its prominent leaders are leaving. While working against the BJP, the Congress party has started working against the country, and Congress leaders cannot accept this and are leaving. The party is breaking apart."

The Assam Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled for April 9, with counting of votes and declaration of results to take place on May 4.

As a young professional from Assam, I've seen new opportunities. My brother got a job in one of the new industrial units. The focus on the Northeast is real. Hope it continues! 🙏

While development is good, we must also talk about the issues that remain. Price rise is a major concern for common people. The government should not ignore the daily struggles while talking about big GDP numbers.

Interesting to read about Assam's transformation. The mention of semiconductor factories is promising for India's tech ambitions. Stability in the region is key for long-term investment.

The work for women's empowerment, especially through financial inclusion schemes, has been significant in our village. Many women now have their own bank accounts and a sense of independence. That's a big change.

Pro-incumbency is a strong word. The peace and handling of the border situation has definitely won them support. People are tired of conflict. If the state is peaceful and growing, why change? 🤔
