Digital Desk: In a momentous gathering in Bhubaneshwar, Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed over 500 prominent personalities from the ST/SC/OBC community of Odisha. Sarma's speech, centered on the Constitution of India, underscored the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) unwavering dedication to safeguarding and empowering the underprivileged sectors of society.

Emphasizing the BJP's consistent support from 400 elected representatives in Parliament, Sarma reiterated the party's vision of strengthening India to the forefront of global leadership. 

He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "Yuga Purush" (epochal leader), drawing parallels with historical figures like Swami Vivekananda, Lachit Borphukan, and Mahatma Gandhi, who have propelled the nation's progress.

Delving into the essence of the Constitution and the principles of Sanatan Dharma, Sarma affirmed the BJP's commitment to preserving India's rich civilizational heritage. He criticized the Congress party for manipulating the Constitution for self-serving agendas, highlighting the dark chapter of the Emergency era. In contrast,  Sarma showcased the BJP's utilization of constitutional provisions to enhance citizens' lives, citing examples like the revocation of Article 370 for the welfare of Kashmiris and the passage of the Women Reservation Bill to safeguard women's rights.

The gathering also witnessed the presence of notable BJP figures, including Bhubaneswar candidate and Lok Sabha MP Aparajita Sarangi, Lok Sabha MP from Assam Dilip Saikia, Rajya Sabha MP from Assam Pabitra Margherita, grassroots social activist Kamala Moharana, Mita Nath Bora, BJP Sah-Pramukh of Vishesh Sampark Abhiyan, Eastern Zone, and Pradeep Patnaik, Odisha State Vishesh Sampark Abhiyan co-convener.
