Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, reflecting on the four years of achievements of the Government of Assam recently said, “Peace, harmony between different communities and development are the three macro achievements during the last four years of the BJP Government in the State. Assam was once seen as a region beset by challenges, but now it has emerged as a beacon of opportunity, resilience and innovation for the North East and the nation.”
“Development has also received a major boost in the State with economic growth, capital formation, semiconductor facility being set up, more bridges over the Brahmaputra coming up, minimum support prices to agriculture produce, among others have ensured we have become an emergent State”, Sarma stated.
He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for declaring Assamese as a classical language, for his role in ensuring Charaideo Moidam get the status of UNESCO World Heritage site, taking Bihu and Jhumoir to both national and international level, giving the ‘Gamosa’ a position of prominence by using it regularly and spending a night at the Kaziranga National Park, etc. “Modi dangoriya has taken Assam’s identity to the global stage.”
According to the Chief Minister, completion of nine years of the BJP-led alliance in the State was indeed a unique landmark and Assam today is a completely different State from what it was before. “The progress of the State during the last four years is a collective achievement of the government, civil society and the people of Assam, whose blessings we seek, so that we can continue to serve them,” he concluded.
