Union Home Minister Amit Shah is gearing up to start a new phase of campaigning in Assam, beginning with a significant roadshow in Guwahati on Saturday. Shah, a key figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will kick off his campaign by participating in a roadshow to support BJP’s Guwahati Central candidate Vijay Gupta. The roadshow is set to start from the Arya Vidyapeeth Playground and traverse through crucial areas of the constituency to garner voter backing in this pivotal urban seat.
Shah’s itinerary includes meetings with party officials and leaders to assess election readiness and enhance grassroots management strategies. Following his roadshow in Guwahati, the Union Home Minister will proceed to Sonitpur district, where he is slated to address a public rally at the Dhekiajuli Tea Estate football field in support of state minister Ashok Singhal. Subsequently, he will move to Tihu in Nalbari district to campaign for senior minister Chandramohan Patowary at the Chamata Higher Secondary School playground, concluding his two-day visit.
This visit by Amit Shah is part of the BJP’s overarching campaign plan to solidify support in key constituencies across Upper and Lower Assam. Shah is also scheduled to revisit Assam on April 2 to campaign in the Barak Valley region. During this phase, he will hold election rallies in Sribhumi district to support minister Krishnendu Paul and in Silchar for former MP Rajdeep Roy. The polling for the 126-member Assam Assembly is slated for April 9, with the vote count scheduled for May 4.
In a parallel development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Assam on April 1, where he will address two major election rallies as part of the BJP’s campaign for the upcoming Assembly polls. Modi’s itinerary includes rallies in Bihpuria in Lakhimpur district and Gohpur, both of which hold significant political importance. The Prime Minister’s visit aims to boost morale among party workers and consolidate voter support in Upper Assam.
