Guwahati: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday campaigned for NDA candidates at Rongamati near Bijoynagar and at Salkocha in Bilasipara and emphasised the transformative vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for rural empowerment and the development of Panchayati Raj institutions.
He asserted that the BJP-led government has brought about a change that Congress had failed to achieve in over six decades.
“The people of India, particularly in rural areas, were deprived for generations of basic necessities like a home, food, and dignity under the Congress rule of almost six decades. Congress’s lack of intent is the biggest corruption, leading to the prolonged suffering of millions and pushing our country backwards,” Sonowal said.
Highlighting the significant strides made in the last decade under Prime Minister Modi, Sonowal praised the BJP for delivering on its promises and ensuring that the benefits of government welfare programs reached the ground.
“Through schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, millions of people, especially in rural India, now live with dignity and access to essential services. Jan Dhan Yojana has been a masterstroke by Modi ji as it eradicated the Congress-crafted system of middleman corruption and transferred the benefit directly into the bank account of the beneficiary. This is how the Modi ji-led NDA government delivered a decisive blow to the corruption model of Congress, ensuring transparency and accountability across all levels of governance,” Sonowal said.
Senior BJP leader Sonowal also expressed his admiration for the vision of Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, whose ideals of social justice and empowerment continue to guide India’s progress.
“Prime Minister Modi ji has fulfilled Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar ji’s vision by strengthening the Panchayati Raj system, empowering local communities, and ensuring that rural India has a seat at the table of development,” Sonowal added.
