Panchayat election : Himanta will address 27 rallies, Dilip 50

way2barak April 11: Going full steam ahead of the forthcoming panchayat elections in Assam, State Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will address 27 rallies, while Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia will address at least 50 rallies in the run-up to the panchayat elections slated for early next month.

The panchayat elections in Assam will be held in two phases—on May 2 and May 7. With just two weeks left for the rural polls, the NDA alliance in the state, including the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and UPPL, has geared up for a full-scale electoral battle. The ruling alliance partners seem to have drawn up extensive groundwork, and preparations have already been made across all levels of the alliance.

BJP Assam Pradesh President Dilip Saikia has appealed to every party worker to give their best in support of NDA-backed and publicly supported candidates.

“State-level representatives have been dispatched to Mandaland district levels to hold discussions with alliance partners, and consensus has been reached for candidate selection in respective constituencies,” said a BJP spokesperson on Thursday.
