Assam Congress Leaders to Stay in Villages to Boost Mass Connect
Imagine the Assam Congress party wants to be closer to the people who live in villages.
So, they've decided that their leaders will go and stay overnight in these villages.
They will sleep in people's homes, eat their food, and talk with them about their lives and any problems they have.
This is like making new friends by truly understanding what their day is like.
The leaders want to listen more than they talk and learn what people really want from their leaders.
They also want to make sure their party is strong by setting up committees in every small area and making sure everyone's vote is counted fairly.
They are also planning a special event to celebrate a famous singer who is loved by the people of Assam.
Assam Congress leaders will spend nights in villages to enhance connection with the masses.
The initiative aims to understand citizens' concerns and shape party policies based on their experiences.
The party plans to expedite the formation of 29,000 Booth Level Agents and complete booth committees statewide within a month.
This drive seeks to foster personal engagement and counter corruption and divisive politics.
A musical program will be held on November 18 in Guwahati to honor Assamese culture and music icon Zubeen Garg.
