Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma addressed a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally in Hojai on March 25, 2026, where he sought voter support for the ruling party. Sarma articulated the BJP's platform, emphasizing the party's commitment to ensuring peace and fostering development within the state, which he stated would generate employment opportunities.
During the rally, the Chief Minister pledged to create two lakh government jobs for the youth of Assam over the next five years. He highlighted that his administration had previously provided one lakh government jobs and asserted that Assam has experienced a period free from "explosions, shutdowns, and agitations" under his tenure, attributing this stability to the need for continued BJP governance.
Sarma also utilized the platform to criticize the Congress party's recruitment practices. He was campaigning for BJP candidate Shiladitya Dev in Hojai and had earlier visited the adjoining Lumding constituency. The BJP's objective is to retain both Lumding and Hojai, constituencies where Bengali speakers constitute the majority of the population.
