The Aryavarth Express GUWAHATI — The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has set an ambitious target of winning 100 seats in Assam in the upcoming elections, party leaders announced on Tuesday. As part of its election strategy and outreach efforts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Guwahati on February 14, where he is expected to address party workers and participate in key programmes.
Senior BJP leaders said the target reflects the party’s confidence in its organisational strength and governance record in the state. The party aims to expand its electoral footprint by consolidating support across regions and social groups, while highlighting development initiatives undertaken under both the central and state governments.
According to party sources, the Prime Minister’s visit to Guwahati will focus on energising the BJP cadre ahead of the elections and reinforcing the party’s campaign narrative centred on development, infrastructure growth, and welfare schemes. Modi is also expected to review the party’s preparedness and interact with state-level leaders during his visit.
BJP leaders have emphasised that the party’s development agenda in Assam — including improvements in connectivity, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities — has resonated with the people. They said the government’s focus on peace, stability, and growth in the northeastern region has strengthened public confidence in the BJP.
The announcement of the 100-seat target signals an aggressive campaign strategy as the party looks to secure a decisive mandate. Leaders have stated that the BJP will intensify grassroots mobilisation and outreach programmes in the coming weeks to achieve its electoral goals.
The Prime Minister’s upcoming visit is being viewed as a significant political event, expected to give momentum to the BJP’s campaign in Assam. Political observers note that high-profile visits by senior leaders often play a crucial role in shaping election narratives and boosting party morale.
As the political activity in Assam gathers pace, the BJP’s campaign plans and targets are likely to draw close attention from rival parties and voters alike.
