PM Modi, Amit Shah To Visit Assam: Jayanta Malla Baruah

Assam Tourism Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the state on 17 April. Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi will address a rally in Nalbari.

The minister informed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Assam over two days, on 7-8 April. During this time, he is scheduled to address three rallies ahead of the seven-phased general elections.

Assam Tourism Minister said, “Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Assam on 7 and 8 April. He will address three election rallies, in Hojai, Lakhimpur and Gohpur.”

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi, too, will visit Assam on 17 April and address an election campaign rally in Nalbari,” he added.

Baruah said that, for now, the schedule of Prime Minister Modi and the Union Home Minister was fixed and wasn’t likely to change.

He said, “We hope that other senior party leaders will visit Assam. Our state party unit, cadres and allies are fully geared to face the elections. Our only aim, going into these elections, is to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister for a third consecutive term.”

Polling for the 14 seats in Assam will be held in three phases. The dates are 19 April, 26 April and 7 May.

The elections to 543 Lok Sabha seats will be held in seven phases.

Nearly 96.8 crore people are eligible to cast their votes in the upcoming polls. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 9 seats in the state. Meanwhile Congress won 3 and the All India United Democratic Front (AIDUF) won 1 seat respectively.

The remaining seat went to an Independent candidate.
