Improved connectivity, affordable housing, improved health care, quality education, access to clean energy, direct benefit transfer, and corruption-free governance have empowered the local community like never before. #GaonChaloAbhiyaan.”

CM Sarma also held discussions with the locals on various subjects, including roads, infrastructure and other benefits under various govt schemes.
CM Sarma said, “A decision was taken in the last cabinet that all the ministers of state govt will stay in the village for seven days in a year. I have instructed all the ministers that when they are on a village tour, they will stay in the houses of the workers and not in the circuit house or hotel. I will spend six more nights in six different villages in the state.” He added that the mothers and sisters of the village blessed him abundantly.
“Muslim mothers and sisters are very excited and appreciative of our efforts to ban polygamy and child marriage,” he added.
Earlier this month, BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda kicked off the ‘Gaon Chalo Abhiyan’ to bring rural India closer to urban India. As a part of the campaign, the party workers have been directed to visit seven lakh villages and all urban booths to take the work the done by the Narendra Modi government to the last person.
