Digital Desk: According to officials, the BJP's top brass,
including national president JP Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will
inaugurate the Bharatiya Janata Party's largest office in the northeastern
region on Sunday.
The ceremony will take place on October 8.
This office in Guwahati will serve as the state's headquarters.
The Vijay BJP office will be spread over 95,000 square feet with
state-of-the-art infrastructure. The building will have six floors and an open
rooftop premise.
The new BJP Assam office will have a 350-person auditorium as
well as two high-tech conference halls with a capacity of 40 people each. It
will also have five meeting halls, each with a capacity of 50 people. The
office will also include a large press conference room, a reception area, and a
canteen.
Amit Shah, the then-party president, laid the groundwork for
this BJP office in Assam in February 2019.
"We're looking forward to top leaders coming to Guwahati
for the inaugural of this office," a state office bearer in charge of the
arrangements told the press
"Assam is the gateway to the north-east, and it is the
state of Assam that has actually opened the fortunes for our party in this
region, so it is only fair that we have a large office here," said another
Assam state office bearer.
Previously, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had placed a special
emphasis on the north-east region's progress through various programs,
including the PM himself making over 50 visits to the region.
The BJP came to power in Assam for the first time in 2016, breaking the Congress party's record term and becoming the only party in the state, other than the Congress, to have back-to-back governments as it repeated its term.
The BJP formed a government in Manipur in 2017 and will do so again in 2022.
Another first for the BJP in the region was the formation of a government in Tripura in 2018, breaking the Left's decades-long rule. The BJP retains control of Arunachal Pradesh, as well as coalition governments in Meghalaya and Nagaland.
