GUWAHATI: Election campaigning for the Assam Assembly polls intensified on Friday with top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and National Democratic Alliance (NDA) heavyweights criss-crossing the state to galvanise support for party candidates.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is scheduled to arrive in Assam later in the day to campaign for the BJP. He will address an election rally at Missamari under the Barchala Assembly constituency in Sonitpur district.
CM Adityanath will campaign in favour of BJP candidate Ritubaran Sharma, seeking to consolidate support for the party ahead of the crucial polls. Party leaders said the visit of the CM, known for his strong Hindutva appeal and organisational outreach, is expected to energise the BJP cadre and voters in the constituency.
The Barchala seat is considered significant for the party’s electoral strategy in Upper Assam.
