Bajali, Assam – In a recent statement, Congress leader and political advisor to Assam Pradesh Congress Committee President Bhupen Bora, Pradyut Bora, launched a strong criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that the ruling party’s popularity is on the decline. With the Panchayat elections around the corner, Bora expressed confidence that the people of Assam will deliver a fitting farewell to the BJP in these upcoming elections. His remarks come amid growing political tension in the state and as the Congress intensifies its campaign to regain support at the grassroots level.
Bora’s comments came during a public address in Bajali, where he directly attacked the BJP for its governance in Assam and across India. He accused the ruling party of failing to meet the expectations of the people, particularly in matters related to job creation, economic growth, and maintaining social harmony. According to Bora, the people of Assam are increasingly dissatisfied with the BJP’s leadership, and the Panchayat elections will be a clear indication of the public’s waning trust in the party.
Pradyut Bora pointed to the rising unemployment rate, the soaring cost of living, and the growing discontent among various sections of society as clear signs of the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promises. He claimed that the BJP had failed to address the core issues affecting the people of Assam, especially in rural areas, where economic instability and a lack of basic infrastructure have been persistent concerns. According to Bora, the people are no longer willing to tolerate the BJP’s governance and are ready to express their frustration at the polls.
Bora, who has been actively involved in Congress politics for several years, highlighted the party’s strong presence at the grassroots level, particularly in rural and underdeveloped regions. He emphasized that the Congress has always stood for the interests of the common people and that the Panchayat elections will serve as an opportunity to remind the electorate of the party’s commitment to social welfare and development. He expressed confidence that Congress would see significant gains in the upcoming elections and that the people would send a clear message to the BJP that its time in power is coming to an end.
The BJP, on the other hand, has maintained its confidence in its ability to perform well in the Panchayat elections. Party leaders argue that the BJP has made substantial progress in Assam, citing improvements in infrastructure, economic development, and security under the current administration. They believe that the BJP’s initiatives, such as the implementation of various welfare schemes and development projects, will resonate with voters and secure their support in the upcoming polls.
Despite the BJP’s optimistic outlook, the Congress has been vocal about its opposition to the party’s policies and its approach to governance. Bora’s scathing remarks underscore the growing tensions between the two parties, with both sides aiming to sway voters in the lead-up to the Panchayat elections. Congress, in particular, has been vocal about the perceived failures of the BJP-led state and central governments, focusing on issues such as inflation, unemployment, and the lack of transparency in governance.
Bora’s comments also reflect the broader political discourse in Assam, where the ruling party’s performance has been under intense scrutiny in recent years. The BJP’s leadership in the state has faced criticism from various quarters, with some accusing the party of neglecting the needs of the people and focusing more on national issues rather than local concerns. In this context, the upcoming Panchayat elections have become a crucial battleground for both the Congress and BJP as they seek to solidify their influence in Assam’s rural regions.
In his address, Bora reiterated that the Panchayat elections would serve as a referendum on the BJP’s leadership and a critical opportunity for the people of Assam to reclaim their voice. He emphasized that Congress would work tirelessly to connect with voters at the grassroots level, focusing on their immediate concerns and needs. According to Bora, the party’s priority will be to ensure that the voices of the people are heard, and that their concerns are addressed through policies that prioritize their welfare.
With the Panchayat elections fast approaching, both the Congress and BJP are intensifying their campaigns. The political climate in Assam is expected to remain heated as each party strives to secure a victory in this pivotal electoral contest. For now, it remains to be seen whether the Congress’s predictions will come true and whether the BJP’s popularity continues to fade in the face of growing discontent among the electorate.
