The campaigning for the second phase of the Lok Sabha election will end this evening. All the parties and candidates are making the best use of the time that is remaining to make their foothold strong. The intensity of campaigning is increasing by the hour and to make the foothold of the BJP stronger, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonwal has reached Silchar today morning. Campaigning for candidate, Parimal Suklabaidya, Sonwal went on a bike rally along with the party supporters from India Club Point in Tarapur today. Alongside the current MP Rajdeep Roy, the minister was joined by MLAs of different Legislative Assembly (LA) constituencies of Silchar and thousands of party supporters.

In the second phase, polling will be held on Friday in 89 constituencies, including the two constituencies of Silchar and Karimganj in Barak Valley. In Silchar, 1351496 voters will decide their fate and their next representative to Delhi. The contest is tough and is mainly between three parties this time and so the campaign is fierce.

The clock is ticking and to make the best use of time, Union Minister (of State) of Shipping and Ports and former CM of Assam, Sarbananda Sonwal started a bike rally in Tarapur. The helmet-clad union minister was seen waving at people who had gathered to express their support for the party and their candidate Parimal Suklabaidya.

While addressing the press, Sonwal said, “I am thankful to the people for trusting us in the last 10 years and we have done some significant developmental work for the people of this region. Connectivity has improved and so has the various welfare-based work. People have understood that Congress was unable to do any of that in the last 70 years of their rule. I am assured by the support that I am seeing, that the people of Barak will vote for BJP. If anyone has done any developmental work for Barak, then it is BJP and people know that very well”.

“For the people of Barak, there are many scopes upcoming in the export-import sector and they will take a very important role in this sector. To improve the connectivity, a railway line is being developed to directly link Barak Valley with Kolkata. All sections of people in Barak are happy with the developmental work that our government has done in the last 10 years”, further added the Minister of Port, Shipping and Waterways.
