Earlier during the third day of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Jan Ashirwad Yatra in the Gohpur area of Assam, CM Sarma greeted people as the campaign continued to receive massive public support ahead of the upcoming assembly elections.

Thousands gathered to welcome the leadership during the Yatra, offering floral tributes and vocal support throughout the route.

Earlier, while expressing his gratitude for the overwhelming response on Sunday, CM Sarma said people are openly thanking him for providing land rights and employment over the last five years.

"I thank the people of Assam very much. Last night it went on till 12:30, and there were people everywhere. The public gave their full blessings. I never thought people will come out in such large numbers. People are acknowledging what we did in the past five years, and I hope people will give us a strong mandate this time," Sarma said.

He added that many people meet him, saying they got a job or land, or thanking him for taking strict action against illegal infiltrators.

"We want to send a strong message that we will evict all illegal encroachers. A lot of people meet me, saying they got a job or a land or thank me for taking strict action against illegal infiltrators. People are supporting us," he said.

During the yatra, the CM reiterated the government's commitment to reclaiming five lakh bighas of encroached land over the next five years. He asserted that land pattas would be granted exclusively to indigenous people, sending a clear message regarding the protection of Assam's land and identity.

The enthusiasm is undeniable! As someone who has followed Assam politics, the work on land pattas and job creation seems to have genuinely connected with people. The yatra looks like a success.

While the large crowds are impressive, I hope this isn't just pre-election spectacle. We need consistent governance, not just grand yatras. The promise to reclaim 5 lakh bighas is massive - will wait to see the actual implementation.

The scale of public participation mentioned here is remarkable. The CM's direct connection with people who got jobs or land rights seems to be a powerful narrative. Interesting to see the blend of emotional appeal and policy promises.

"Not Santa, but I always have gifts for my Bhaginas" – this quote is getting a lot of traction! It shows a familial bond, which resonates in our culture. Hope the 'gifts' of development and security continue for the people of Assam.
