Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma pledged to fix a crumbling road in the Congress-held Laharighat constituency on November 10. He posted a photo of the damaged route on X. Sarma claimed the local legislator ignored the project. The constituency has long supported the Congress party.
Sarma told his followers, "This man's request has now reached me, and I will get this road built." He argued the current state of infrastructure stems from the failure of local MLA Asif Mohammad Nazar to suggest necessary work. He vowed that his administration operates under the mantra, "Development for all, appeasement of none."
The Chief Minister addressed a rally in the area on November 9. He told the crowd to bypass Nazar entirely. He directed residents to send their requests through the newly elected BJP MP, Devasish Sharma, instead. Sarma claimed the work must arrive via the MP and the Chief Minister himself, whom he calls "Mama."
This push follows the BJP victory in the October Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll. Devasish Sharma took the seat from Congress. Laharighat is one of eight assembly segments within that constituency. Sarma claimed Congress will stay out of power in Assam for 50 years. He encouraged locals to join BJP committees to track state welfare benefits.
