Sep 20, 2024
Lakhimpur (Assam), [India], September 20 : Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, addressed multiple meetings in the districts of Dhemaji and Lakhimpur as the BJP's Membership Drive peaks in the North Bank region on Friday.
People responded positively as hundreds of people joined the party during the daylong campaign spearheaded by the senior BJP leader. Sarbananda Sonowal called upon the people to follow the path to 'Sewa' of the society and the country - a roadmap espoused by PM Narendra Modi when he identified as the Pradhan Sewak of India in 2014.
Speaking at a membership campaign, the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, said, "The membership drive of our party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is a moment of celebration for all of us."
"We have become members of the party to serve our motherland. We must strive forward and strengthen our society. A strong society will lead us to a strong country. As able sons and daughters of Asomi Aai, we must perform our duties with utmost commitment. When our dynamic leader Narendra Modi ji became Prime Minister in 2014, the roadmap to the service of the nation was shown when Modi ji presented himself as the 'Pradhan Sewak' of the country. This is a roadmap that we must embrace while working towards building our Atmanirbhar Bharat. We must take everyone along, win everyone's trust and love, and pay respect to everyone as we join hands in this journey to build a new Bharat," Sonowal said.
The Union Minister said that under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they are committed to "build a new, strong, better India."
"We have all witnessed how the government, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has worked for the holistic welfare of society and development of the country. All the sections of society have benefitted from the schemes rolled out by the Modi government. Together with the state and central government, the BJP-led NDA government shall continue on this path for all-round development of the society and to work towards realising the vision of Modiji's Viksit Bharat. One decade of development under the Modi government has proven how the BJP remains committed to delivering their promises," Sonowal added.
The senior BJP leader started off a series of membership drive meetings starting from Tokobari, Sisiborgaon, under Dhemaji district. Sonowal then proceeded for multiple meetings to drum up support for the BJP's membership drive as he addressed at Thekeraguri, Chauldhowa, Nakadam, and Khelmati Naamghar in North Lakhimpur before culminating at Ranganadi LAC under Naoboicha GP in Lakhimpur district.
Speaking further, Sarbananda Sonowal said, "The people of Assam and the northeast were always left unattended by previous regimes. Such apathy and years of neglect have become a thing of the past under Modiji. This changed completely when the BJP-led government won the popular mandate to work for the benefit of the people and to build a strong, developed country. This part of Assam, the northern bank of Brahmaputra, remained eluded by the previous governments from doing anything constructive or productive for the benefit of the people."
He said that all these changed when the BJP-led government worked to improve the quality of lives of the people.
"Today, we have well developed roads, people are part of the country's financial system, ensuring inclusive financial development, the newer and better roads, bridges, and better means of communication, as well as enabling the youth and Nari Shakti to realise their true potential by becoming entrepreneurs. We have more to do to make our country the best country in this world," said Sonowal.
