During her addresses, Neog emphasised the national sentiment rallying behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third term to continue the journey of development and progress initiated under his leadership in 2014. She highlighted the significant transformations witnessed across the country, including Assam’s progress under the BJP-led government, signaling strong support for BJP candidates in recent state elections.
Neog also mentioned that her campaign tours in Mariani and Teok Assembly seats under the Jorhat parliamentary constituency indicated a substantial victory for Topon Gogoi.
Meanwhile, Gaurav Gogoi visited Majuli river island on Wednesday and toured across the Brahmaputra island LAC for the second time following his earlier visit about a fortnight ago.
After the delimitation of constituencies exercise carried out last year by the Election Commission of India, the Majuli LAC, which was earlier a part of Lakhimpur Lok Sabha seat, has been included as a segment of the Jorhat parliamentary constituency.
Gaurav Gogoi expressed optimism about getting the mandate of the people, noting the visible excitement and the outpouring of love and support from the people.
