The ruling BJP-led coalition in Assam will approach voters in the state on the basis of its developmental activities.

BJP state president Bhabesh Kalita and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) chief Atul Bora said they have also developed a joint roadmap to take forward the electioneering process in the state.
    
“The alliance partners have already been working on to reach out to the people. Today, we discussed joint strategies to take it forward,” Bora said at a joint press after a meeting between the two parties.
    
Bora, a cabinet minister, said joint committees for coordination at different levels between the two parties are also being formed.
    
“People are already aware of the ‘vikas yatra’ (journey of development) of our government. Our candidates have good potential to win all seats,” Bora added.
