Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that it is important for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) coalition to be in power in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) for the development and progress of the region and to maintain peace and tranquillity.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma held an election campaign for Joyanta Basumatary, the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA ) candidate from Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat which will go to polls in the third phase on May 7.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of an election campaign, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasized the importance of the BJP-UPPL coalition in maintaining power in the BTR region, urging everyone to vote for Joyanta Basumatary and help him win.
CM Sarma stated that since the fourth Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) was formed by the BJP-UPPL-GSP alliance, the BTR region has seen winds of peace, development, and progress. Incidents of grenade blasts, shooting, and other kinds of violence have also decreased significantly.
“The BJP-UPPL coalition is not political; it is for the sake of the BTR region, and we must ensure that these improvements are consistent,” said CM Sarma.
Earlier, Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the BTR, Pramod Boro said that Basumatary is sure to win by a large margin. He said that BJP national President J.P Nadda’s visit to Kokrajhar strengthened the position of NDA in the region.
Joyanta Basumatary contested the 2021 Assembly elections in Assam as a UPPl candidate from the Sidli constituency of Chirang district.
He defeated sitting BPF MLA and three-time minister Chandan Brahma by a heavy margin of votes and became an MLA.
Joyanta Basumatary is contesting Lok Sabha elections for the first time.
