Hopefully, we will reach 50 lakhs by the next week.”
On Monday, the Chief Minister took to social media platform X to celebrate this historic milestone. He posted, “With 40 lakh members, BJP Sadasyata 2024 crosses a historic milestone in Assam. This reflects the people’s support for our uncompromising approach to Vikas & Virasat.”
As the #BJPSadasyata2024 campaign in Assam surpasses the 40 lakh milestone, Sarma congratulated his fellow karyakartas for their exceptional hard work. He emphasized that the party will not rest until they fulfill Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay’s dream of taking the party’s ideology to every home.
