Sonowal said that during the last five years, the state has witnessed unprecedented development. In the last assembly elections we came to you promising poriborton (change) and to protect Jati-Mati- Bheti (identity, land and the base), which we have fulfilled with dedication and we appeal for your continued love and trust in us so that we can continue with this journey, he said.
The chief minister visited temples and various religious places before joining a procession to the public meeting, which was marked by the cultural traditions of Majuli, the world s largest river island.
Sonowal was clad in a dhoti, pat-silk kurta with a jacket representing the sizeable Mising tribe of the constituency along with gamosas of the different communities living on the island, and was also seen sporting a Nepali cap for a while during the procession.
