Chief Minister's Commitment to Bajali Development

Patacharkuchi, March 27: Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has pledged the establishment of a medical college in Bajali district within nine months, contingent on his party's re-election.

During a campaign event named ‘Vijay Sankalpa Divas’ held in Bajali on Thursday, he instructed senior party member Ranjeet Kumar Dass to secure 100 bighas of land for the proposed institution.

Speaking to a large audience, predominantly women, at the Swahid Kapil Kalita High School playground in Barbang, Sarma emphasized the government's commitment to enhancing development in Bajali.

He highlighted significant accomplishments, including the founding of Bhattadev University, the creation of Bajali district, and substantial improvements in road infrastructure.

Focusing on women’s empowerment, Sarma reiterated the administration's dedication to fostering economic independence. He announced the inclusion of an additional 10,000 beneficiaries under the Orunodoi scheme in the district.

Furthermore, he stated that women would receive financial support of Rs 25,000 to encourage entrepreneurship, noting that seed funding of Rs 10,000 has already been distributed through the Mukhyamantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan (MMUA).

Presenting a ‘four-engine government’ model, he asserted that development in Bajali would be propelled by Narendra Modi at the national level, himself in Dispur, and local leaders like Ranjeet Kumar Dass and AGP candidate Dharmeswar Roy.

The Chief Minister also claimed that approximately 50 lakh bighas of land in Assam are currently encroached upon by outsiders. He reported that over one lakh bighas have been reclaimed during his administration and promised that an additional five lakh bighas would be liberated and allocated to indigenous communities if his government is re-elected.

Ranjeet Kumar Dass, who is contesting from the Bhawanipur-Sarbhog constituency, expressed his deep connection to Bajali and urged voters to support Dharmeswar Roy.

He expressed confidence in the alliance's chances, predicting that the NDA would win 89-90 seats in the state.

In Bajali, he asserted that the NDA candidate's victory is assured, but stressed the importance of a winning margin exceeding 40,000 votes.

Barpeta MP Phanibhushan Choudhury also spoke at the event, showcasing development efforts made under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Attendees included Bhawanipur MLA Phanidhar Talukdar, AGP leader Jintu Choudhury, AGP candidate Dharmeswar Roy, BJP Bajali district president Mukut Kalita, Padma Sarma, and Manoj Baruah, along with other party officials.

The roadshow named “Vijay Sankalpa Sabha” commenced in Barpeta and concluded in Mangaldai, passing through Bajali on Thursday.
