Youth will decide Assam’s next election, says Prasanta Phukan at Dibrugarh convention

Emphasising the decisive role of the younger generation in shaping both electoral outcomes and long-term development, Dibrugarh MLA Prasanta Phukan on February 6 addressed a large youth convention of the 88 No. Dibrugarh Legislative Assembly Constituency at the Purni Government School playground.

Addressing the gathering, Phukan highlighted the growing political awareness and active engagement of the youth, stressing that their thought processes, discipline and constructive participation are vital for building a well-organised and progressive society. He underlined that a crucial election is expected within the next 50 days, in which youth participation is likely to play a decisive role.

According to Phukan, around 2,800 young students are already actively involved in preparatory activities linked to the electoral process. He stated that a structured plan has been put in place to mobilise young voters at the grassroots level, with a target of at least 100 youths at each polling booth to ensure active democratic participation in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The MLA noted that these youths are being oriented towards the party’s policies and political vision through systematic programmes aimed at enhancing their leadership skills, organisational capacity and understanding of governance. Such initiatives, he said, are designed not only for electoral success but also to nurture responsible future leaders.

Highlighting ongoing development initiatives, Phukan referred to key projects spearheaded by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, including the recognition of Dibrugarh as Assam’s second capital. He added that youth involvement is being actively encouraged to ensure wider public participation in the state’s development journey.

Phukan also mentioned the presence of youths from Delhi who, he said, have expressed confidence and enthusiasm in contributing to the party’s organisational efforts and supporting the goal of securing victory in the forthcoming Assembly elections.

He concluded by stating that the overarching objective is not only to ensure electoral success but also to lay the foundation for sustained regional development and a progressive future through the active and positive participation of the youth.
