BJP Working President Nitin Nabin Accorded Grand Welcome In Assam

Guwahati: The BJP working president Nitin Nabin who was accorded grand welcome by hundreds of party workers on his arrival at Guwahati Airport on Friday emphasised the party’s commitment to grassroots work and inclusive development, while stressing the importance of booth-level mobilisation for electoral success.

Recalling his first visit to Assam in 2009 as youth leader of the BJP’s Yuva Morcha, Mr Nabin said that present Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia was then president of the youth wing.

Crediting Kamakhya Maa’s blessings for the party’s sustained progress in the state, he also flagged the BJP’s focus on India’s Northeast, Mr Nabin said that the BJP has always believed that the development of the entire country is linked to the growth of the Northeast. “The Northeast, including Assam, can now advance alongside the most developed states of India,” he said.

Mr Nabin noted that during the Congress rule, citizens had lost land rights, and Assam did not fully benefit from central schemes, as funds were diverted elsewhere. He praised the current BJP-led government in Assam for ensuring that funds from Delhi reach the people, citing leaders such as Himanta Biswa Sarma and Sarbananda Sonowal for facilitating development initiatives.

He asserted that Assam’s development is progressing in a manner that respects both nature and the culture of every community. “We work with a 24×7 approach, taking each election seriously and ensuring that every NDA seat receives focused attention,” said Mr Nabin. He stressed the importance of winning booths at the grassroots level, emphasising that booth victories are the key to winning elections.

Recalling the BJP’s experience in Bihar, Mr Nabin said that the people had rejected allegations of voter fraud against the party. He called on party workers to strengthen the outreach of government schemes, highlighting initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat that allow citizens access to healthcare without the previous burdens of land-based health interventions.

Mr Nabin concluded by calling on BJP functionaries to actively support the party in building a strong government in Assam. “Politics is not about short-distance competition. If you work sincerely, you can go far ahead,” he said, emphasising long-term vision and disciplined grassroots work.

Mr Nabin who arrived here on Friday on a two-day visit to Assam is scheduled to attend the party’s State Executive Meeting at Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra. Earlier he was received by party leaders and workers at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.

Mr Nabin, who assumed charge as BJP national working president on December 14, is also scheduled to participate in several organisational meetings during his visit. It include a meeting of the BJP Assam State Core Committee at the party’s state headquarters to review organisational and political matters.

The discussions are expected to focus on the current political situation in the state, organisational issues and electoral preparedness. The meeting is also aimed at outlining strategies for the 2026 Assam Legislative Assembly elections, scheduled to be held in March–April.

On Saturday, he will attend meetings of the State Election Management Committee and the Manifesto Drafting Committee are also scheduled to take place.
