NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR: BJP National VP In Charge of Assam and Delhi, Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda while thanking people of Assam and as well as BJP workers, hoped that the new Government will live to the expectations of people and made it clear that good governance is sole aim of Party. The BJP also successfully engineered the perception that Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands for all-inclusive development, the BJP National VP Panda added.
Considering challenges for Assam as a border State , Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah always giving priority to this North-Eastern State and its reflection were very clear and laud after the ruling BJP-led NDA has retained its grip on Assam, bagging 74 of the 126 assembly constituencies that went to polls, the BJP National VP, Jay Panda, also a former 4th times MP from Odisha said, in a video message.
Recalling the anti CAA campaign, the BJP VP Panda said, results shows, how Union Minister Amit Shah solved the year old Bodo militancy in Assam. In Assam, opposition Congress-led grand alliance managed to clinch just 50 seats. The BJP alone won 60 constituencies, the same as in 2016.
Recounting his 4 months of hectic campaign in Assam, the former MP, Panda thanked all party workers and top leaders for their cooperation and support. The BJP has achieved this victory through multiple strategies. It manufactured social perceptions, implemented competitive populist schemes and brought almost all mainstream tribal ethnic outfits into its fold. By exempting the three Sixth Schedule council areas — the Bodo Territorial Council (BTC), the Karbi Autonomous Council and the Dima Hasao from the purview of the CAA — the BJP government succeeded in luring away many ethnic nationalist organisations from the anti-CAA movement, Panda argued.
During the first wave of the pandemic, the BJP regained the political legitimacy through initiatives such as the Arogya Nidhi and voluntary work of Party workers during COVID-19, he said. On Chief Minister issue in Assam, Jay Panda said Party’s Parliamentary Board will take a final call after Central observers submit its reports. “BJP is a largest party and every voice will be heard before taking any final call,” he said adding the State Legislature Party will be taken into consideration.
Citing West Bengal results, Jay Panda, said, BJP rose from 3 to 75 and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself could not able to retain her Nandigram seat. “We will bounce back in Bengal and Party is working on it,”Panda added.
