A “tradition of gratitude” makes BJP national president Jagat Prasad Nadda kick off the party’s campaign for the 2021 Assam Assembly elections from Silchar on January 11.

Nadda on Monday said that the party will always give due recognition to the culture, language and identity of Assam, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah solved 50-year-old Bodo issue by signing a peace accord and bringing militants to the mainstream.

"It is the responsibility of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to safeguard the culture and language of Assam and the party has always given importance to these things. "The BJP will always take good care of Assam's unique culture and language. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee was one of the first national voices to support the Assam Movement," Nadda said who was addressing a public meeting in Silchar, Assam.

"The Bodo crisis was hanging for nearly 50 decades and the Bru-Reang crisis, too, was solved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. We remember our efforts of 1991 and Barak Valley was one of the first regions to bless us whole-heartedly. We got nine MLAs and two MPs from this valley," said Nadda while addressing a public meeting.
