Modi rally historic for Assam: Sarbananda Sonowal

GUWAHATI, February 6: “February 8 rally of Narendra Modi in Guwahati would be of utmost historic importance to the State of Assam. The main aim of this rally is to put emphasis on the ways of building a developed Assam,” said State BJP president Sarbananda Sonowal while addressing a press meet in the city today.

Sonowal further said, “Through this rally, apart from highlighting BJP’s development oriented policies and schemes to the fore, through this rally attempt would also be made to bring in public notice the corruption of the Congress government. Under the Congress regime in Assam, criminal activities and Syndicate Raj have bloomed like anything and the worst sufferers are the general public.”

Expressing happiness over the said rally, Sonowal said that the rally would be a huge success with people coming in from every nook and corner of the State.

“In our door-to-door survey carried out in the State we found out that people from the rural areas are all set to come to Guwahati and listen Modi speak and that too in their own expense,” Sonowal added.

Apart from disclosing the objectives of the rally, around 42 new members joined the party. Of those who joined the party today include Pitambar Saikia of the AGP and Khabiruddin Ahmed of the Congress.

It may be mentioned here that during Modi’s rally on February 8, former Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) president Chandra Mohan Patowary, journalist Adip Phukan, AGP executive member Arun Pathak will also join the party. Pathak is expected to further bring 100 other AGP minority members along with him.
