Jobs, Flood Control and Infrastructure Push
Sarma announced that the BJP aims to generate two lakh jobs over the next five years. He also highlighted a major financial commitment towards tackling Assam’s recurring flood crisis.
“We will try to make Assam flood-free and, in the first two years, we will spend ₹18,000 crore,” the Chief Minister said.
In addition, the party laid out an expansive infrastructure vision under a “One District, One Institution” model—promising one medical college, one university and one engineering college in every district.
Welfare Expansion: Focus on Women and Households
The manifesto also places strong emphasis on welfare schemes. Sarma said the government plans to provide ₹25,000 as financial assistance in the second phase to existing beneficiaries under the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Scheme, while expanding its reach to create 40 lakh “Lakhpati Baideos”.
He further announced a proposed increase in monthly financial support under the Orunodoi scheme, from ₹1,250 to ₹3,000, aimed at boosting household incomes.
Himanta Targets Gaurav Gogoi
During the event, Sarma also targeted Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, alleging that he should disclose details of properties in Pakistan and Britain, along with bank account information, to the Election Commission of India.
“We have a lot of information,” Sarma claimed, without providing further details.
