The party has drawn up a packed schedule of organizational programs and high-profile visits for the remainder of December. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Thursday that the party will hold two crucial meetings on December 26 and 27 to lay the groundwork for the elections. These meetings are expected to be attended by senior national leaders.

Santosh, and state assembly election in-charges Vajayan Panna and Harish Trivedi are expected to attend these meetings. He added that a series of programs will be held throughout the rest of December. The Chief Minister also stated that this series of visits and programs symbolizes the culmination of the development work undertaken during the five-year term of the government. Several projects are nearing completion, and various dignitaries will be visiting to inaugurate them.

Prior to the scheduled meetings, Sarma reviewed the organizational preparations with Assam BJP President Dilip Saikia and party workers. The Chief Minister expressed confidence in the party workers, stating that the upcoming programs will be conducted smoothly with their cooperation across the state.
