According to Phukan, around 2,800 young students are already actively involved in preparatory activities linked to the electoral process. A structured plan has been put in place to mobilise young voters at the grassroots level, targeting at least 100 youths at each polling booth to ensure active democratic participation in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The MLA noted that these youths are being oriented towards the party’s policies and political vision through systematic programmes aimed at enhancing their leadership skills, organisational capacity and understanding of governance. He said such initiatives are designed not only for electoral success but also to nurture responsible future leaders.
Highlighting ongoing development initiatives, Phukan referred to key projects spearheaded by Himanta Biswa Sarma, including the recognition of Dibrugarh as Assam’s second capital and stressed that youth involvement is being actively encouraged to ensure wider public participation in the state’s development.
Phukan also mentioned the presence of youths from Delhi, who have expressed confidence and enthusiasm in contributing to the party’s organisational efforts and supporting the goal of securing victory in the forthcoming Assembly elections. He concluded by stating that the overarching objective is not only to ensure electoral success but also to lay the foundation for sustained regional development and a progressive future through active youth participation.
