GUWAHATI, OCT 8: The new office complex of BJP in Assam was inagurated at Basistha by the National President of the party, JP Nadda and the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah on Saturday.
The ceremony was also attended by the Chief Minister of Assam, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma; the state president of the party, Bhabesh Kalita along with the Union Minister and member of Central Parliamentary Board & Central Election Commission, Sarbananda Sonowal.
It is to be noted that the construction of the new complex started in 2019 when the Ranjeet Das was the party president while Sarbananda Sonowal was the Chief Minister of Assam. Prior to this, Sarbananda Sonowal paid respect to the senior members of the party.
Speaking on the occasion, the senior BJP leader, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “We have always been inspired by the blessings and experience of the seniors in the party. The growing strength of the organisation along with the widespread popularity and acceptability of the party is because of the contribution by the seniors in the party. They will forever be our source of inspiration towards service and commitment to the nation building.”
Speaking on the occasion, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “In the socio cultural history of India, the rise of BJP has decimated the family centric selfish politics of Congress and has given rise to an alternative ideology. Under the leadership of honourable Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji along with many other towering leaders of the party, this journey began in 1980. The journey from Bharatiya Jan Sangha to Bharatiya Janata Party saw many inspiring personalities like Syama Prasad Mukherjee, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Atal Bihari Vajpayee whose sacrifice, hard work and pure patriotism led to its present destination. I pay my humble tribute to these finest leaders in this wonderful nation building effort. I also pay my deep respects to all those party workers whose untiring effort led to the growth of the party in Assam and we shall forever be indebted to their dedication and commitment. With the help, support and love from the party workers, today, I have an opportunity to represent people. This is due to the sacrifice and earnest handwork put in by our party workers for the party.”
Adding further, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “We take immense pride to serve our nation through a party which believes in supremacy of the nation. We are committed towards nation building as it is our ideology. The dark days of violence and corruption, especially in the Northeast and Assam, during the Congress reign, is a harrowing time for all of us. However, this tide changed immediately after the BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath in 2014. The unflinching commitment and resolve of the Modi government has helped addressed long standing and pressing issues of the region. With the sincere effort to bring in peace and development in the region, the vision of making the Northeast as the new engine of growth for the next phase of the India’s growth story is a fantastic opportunity for all of us. Under the strong leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and path shown by the party leader J P Nadda ji, the party has been able to win the hearts of the people of the Northeast along with the rest of India. We remain firmly committed to continue to work towards nation building under the able leadership of PM Narendra Modi ji.”
Sonowal also lauded the effort put in by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in bringing permanent peace to the region as it paves the way for growth and development in the region.
Sonowal also appreciated how Assam has remained on the track of sustained development ever since BJP came to power.
The new building at Basistha will further strengthen the organisational efficiency of the party in the region. Sarbananda Sonowal also thanked the National Party president, JP Nadda and the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah for attending this auspicious occasion which gives tremendous encouragement to the party workers of the state. The event saw participation by Dr Manik Saha, CM, Tripura along with many ministers, MPs, MLAs along with leaders of BJP’s coalition partners, officer bearers and enthusiastic party workers.
