BJP working to strengthen organisation in Assam: Dilip Saikia
Guwahati, May 26
Assam Bharatiya Janata Party president Dilip Saikia on Tuesday said the party has begun preparations for upcoming organisational and electoral activities following what he described as a "historic mandate" for the BJP-led alliance in the recent elections.
Speaking to reporters after a party meeting, Saikia said the BJP remains a "vibrant and living political organisation" that continuously works to strengthen its structure and prepare for future elections immediately after the conclusion of one electoral process.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party is a living political organisation. After every election, we immediately begin preparations for the next organisational and electoral responsibilities," Saikia said.
He informed that a major organisational meeting was convened with 433 Mandal committee presidents, 44 district committee presidents, and several senior party office-bearers.
According to Saikia, presidents and general secretaries of various frontal organisations, district in-charges, co-in-charges, and senior party workers also attended the meeting to discuss future programmes and organisational strategies.
"We have already completed the first session of the meeting, where discussions were held regarding our responsibilities after receiving such a massive public mandate," he said.
The Assam BJP chief said party workers were asked to continue serving the people with humility and dedication despite the electoral success.
"We have appealed to all our workers to remain active and continue public service with sincerity and humility," Saikia stated.
He further said discussions were also held regarding several upcoming elections in different literary and community bodies across the state.
Among the elections mentioned by Saikia were those for the Mising Sahitya Sabha, Yuva Sahitya Sabha, Sonowal Kachari literary bodies, and the Silchar Municipal Corporation.
"We are discussing how the party and its supporters can perform successfully in these upcoming elections as well," he said.
Saikia added that Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal had already addressed the gathering, while Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was also expected to join the meeting later to guide party workers on future organisational programmes and political strategies.
The BJP has intensified its organisational activities in Assam ahead of a series of local and community-level elections scheduled in the coming months.

This "vibrant and living organisation" talk is all well and good, but what about the common people? They should remember that humility and service are not just words—they need to deliver on promises like the National Register of Citizens (NRC) update and help for tea garden workers. 🙏
Good to see the party staying active even after elections. Many parties disappear after winning. But I just hope this doesn’t mean more division in the state—we need unity in Assam. Sarbananda Sonowal and Himanta Biswa Sarma both have big responsibilities.
Interesting how they’re focusing on literary and community body elections too—like Mising Sahitya Sabha. Shows they understand the cultural landscape of Assam. But let’s see if this translates to better infrastructure in the Brahmaputra valley or just more political rallies.
I appreciate the call for humility and dedication—that’s important after a big win. But I wish they’d also talk more about how they’ll handle issues like the Assam-Meghalaya border dispute or the illegal immigration problem. Just my two paise worth! 😊
433 Mandal presidents and 44 district presidents? That’s some serious grassroots machinery. But I hope this organisational strength is used for development, not just vote bank politics. The people of Assam deserve better roads, schools, and healthcare first.
