Guwahati, April 13: In a statewide political push ahead of the upcoming Panchayat elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday conducted district-level meetings of its election preparation committees across all 31 of its organizational districts in Assam. The move is part of a broader strategy to tighten coordination, sharpen campaign execution, and maintain momentum in NDA’s bid for grassroots dominance.
The districts covered by the BJP’s organizational structure span the 27 administrative districts scheduled for elections. Assam BJP president and MP Dilip Saikia has constituted a State Election Preparation Committee to steer this mission, appointing minister Pijush Hazarika as its convenor.
In keeping with the state committee’s directives, each organizational district now has its own dedicated election preparation committee. Sixteen observers, handpicked by the party leadership, have been deployed to oversee activities and planning across these districts—each responsible for two districts. These observers held strategic discussions with local leaders to fine-tune booth-level plans, mobilize party workers, and strengthen on-ground logistics.
Assam BJP spokesperson Ranjib Kumar Sharma said the enthusiasm within the NDA alliance is translating into real-time momentum on the ground. Temporary election offices set up by Zilla Parishad and Anchalik Panchayat candidates are witnessing strong public engagement across constituencies.
Sharma also revealed a notable development: over 10% of NDA candidates have effectively secured uncontested victories, with only official confirmation pending. This, he claimed, is a reflection of the alliance’s growing grassroots reach and organizational strength in rural Assam.
“The energy across the districts is palpable. Our candidates are getting overwhelming support, and this is just the beginning,” Sharma said.
The meetings mark the BJP’s clear intent to dominate the rural political landscape, leaving little to chance as it seeks to capitalize on its organizational machinery, coalition strength, and growing electoral footprint across the state.
