Kaushik Rai gets a third-term as Cachar BJP President, "Will work to win 7 out of 7 in 2021," says Rai

Bharatiya Janata Party Assam Pradesh earlier today announced that Kaushik Rai will remain the party’s president in Cachar district. The announcement was made through an official letter by BJP’s state president Ranjit Dass. 

This marks the beginning of Rai’s third-term as the party’s district president. He was made the party’s Cachar president in 2012 and he served a four-year term. In May 2018, he  replaced Uday Shankar Gowsami to start his second term. Goswami was made the district president in January 2018.

“I am grateful that I have been given a third-term by the party. I am thankful to party president Ranjit Dass, chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Himanta Biswa Sarma and the state leadership for bestowing trust on me,” said Rai while speaking with Barak Bulletin.

He added, “In 2016 we managed to win six out of seven legislative assembly seats in Cachar and in 2021 the aim is to make it seven out of seven. I seek the support of MP, MLAs and all the Karyakartas in BJP.
