Good to see our leaders working together. The part about honoring Tamil kings is important too – recognizing all cultures strengthens our unity. Jai Hind!

Meetings like these are fine, but I hope the focus remains on ground-level work. Assam has seen changes, but there's still a long way to go in many districts. The invitation should lead to tangible benefits for the people.

As someone who visited Assam last year, the development is noticeable, especially in Guwahati. A VP visit could highlight the state's potential for tourism and investment. The cultural recognition mentioned is also a nice touch.

Protocol meetings are part of the job. The real test is whether such visits translate into faster project clearances or central support for the state's specific needs, like flood management.

Appreciate the respect shown to the Vice President. It's important for state leaders to maintain good relations with the central leadership. Hope he accepts the invitation and enjoys Assam's famous hospitality! ☕
