Flanked by his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, son Nandil Biswa Sarma, and BJP MP Bijuli Kalita Medhi, Sarma filed his nomination.
Sarma said, “I have filed my nomination for Jalukbari constituency today. Many of my colleagues will also file nominations today, while others will do so on March 23.”
He recounted, “I first contested from Jalukbari in 1996 and lost. Since 2001, I have been winning continuously. Despite delimitation changes, I believe I will continue to receive the blessings of the people.”
Sarma admitted he has a tough schedule ahead as he will be doing five meetings per day, “With limited time, I will try to balance statewide campaigning and connecting with people in Jalukbari.” Sarma said that BJP and its allies would be seriously contesting 102 constituencies but refrained from making early predictions. “It is too early to speak about victory or the Chief Minister’s post. Let the elections conclude peacefully first.”
Meeting his mother Sarma stated, ”Auspicious occasions should always begin with mother’s blessings. Though I don’t get to spend much time with her these days, her blessings always power me to continue serving Aai Asomi (mother Assam),” Sarma said in a post on X.
‘The party workers will take care of my campaign. I will also try to go and Riniki (his wife) will also visit some places,” he said, adding that he will address five to six meetings in a day.
