Guwahati, 09 November (H.S): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday assured the people of Lahorighat that the constituency would be developed on a par with other constituencies in the state, asserting that all promises made during the elections would be fulfilled.

Addressing the people of Lahorighat after the BJP's victory in the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election, Sarma thanked the voters for their support and said the constituency had remained deprived of development for a long time because of its continued association with the Congress.

He pointed out that Lahorighat had suffered from inadequate infrastructure, particularly in terms of roads and embankments and assured that these shortcomings would be addressed.

The Chief Minister said every promise made during the election campaign would be fulfilled. Taking a dig at the Congress, he said the party tends to forget its electoral promises after elections, whereas the BJP does not forget the commitments made to the people.

Sarma reiterated that the government was committed to ensuring balanced development and bringing Lahorighat at par with other constituencies in Assam.-----------
