The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday named former Nagaon Deputy Commissioner Debashis Sarma as its candidate for the upcoming Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election.
“I would like to thank all the senior leaders of the party for believing in me. When I showed interest in joining politics, Pradyut Bordoloi motivated and guided me to enter politics. I would like to express my gratitude to him. “I performed my government duties sincerely, and now I want to enter politics and serve the people with the same sincerity.
In a statement issued by its Central Election Committee, the BJP said Sarma had been approved as its nominee for the Nagaon parliamentary constituency. I also thank party president Dilip Saikia and the Chief Minister for allowing me to contest the by-election,” Sarma said. Sarma said he wanted to continue serving the people in politics with the same sincerity with which he had served in government. I am committed to working for the welfare of the people,” he said. He identified unemployment as one of the major issues facing the constituency and said he wanted to focus on creating opportunities for the younger generation.
Today’s youth are increasingly becoming self-reliant instead of depending solely on government jobs. “Unemployment is a burning problem, and I want to focus on this issue and try to help the younger generation overcome it. They are starting businesses and pursuing their own work. The Nagaon by-election was necessitated by the resignation of incumbent two-term Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi, who quit the party and joined the BJP ahead of the Assam Assembly elections held in April.
They are the future of the nation, and many of them will enter politics in the future,” Sarma said.
