Accordingly, on February 12th, I will be spending the night amongst the people of Raja Pukhuri Shyam Gaon in Sarupathar.”
The initiative is expected to facilitate direct interaction between the Chief Minister and the villagers, providing a platform for them to voice their concerns and discuss the impact of government schemes on their lives. It also underscores the BJP’s commitment to grassroots engagement and strengthening ties with rural communities.
