Prime Minister Modi shared photos of this special meeting on his official X handle.

Sharing his experience, the PM said that interacting with the women working in the tea gardens of Dibrugarh about their culture was a truly memorable moment. He lavishly praised the hard work and dedication of the tea plantation families and said that the entire country is proud of their efforts, which have further enhanced the reputation of Assam through their dedication.

Voting on April 9

This visit by the Prime Minister is not just a casual meeting, but is also being implicated in deeper political implications. It is worth noting that elections are scheduled to be held in Assam on April 9th, with the results declared on May 4th. The BJP, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is making a strong bid to return to power in the state, facing a direct and tough competition from the Congress. Therefore, PM Modi's visit to the tea gardens just before the elections is a clear indication that the BJP is keen to woo this large and decisive vote bank in Assam. Through this interesting visit, the party has sought to convey a clear message that it stands firmly with the people working in the tea gardens.
