Highlighting infrastructure development, Sonowal pointed to the construction of the Bogibeel Bridge, stating that while the Congress government failed to complete the project over 16 years, it was finished within three years under the Modi-led government, accelerating growth in the region. He further said that the Centre’s firm stance on safeguarding land, culture, and traditions has instilled a sense of confidence among the Assamese people, adding that the state is now secure.
Expressing confidence in the upcoming Assembly elections, Sonowal claimed that the BJP-led alliance would return to power for a third consecutive term. Addressing the gathering, Doley urged voters to support him once again, emphasising continued development and progress in the constituency.
