Speaking on the significance of the day, Chowdhury said, “I am entering this battle for the very first time, and I do so with the hope of bringing a new vision to the Guwahati Central Constituency. Tomorrow, as I head to the District Commissioner’s office, I carry with me the aspirations of every resident who seeks change.”
“I have spent the last few days seeking the blessings of our elders and the support of our youth. On this journey, I humbly request my mothers, sisters, and young friends to stand by me. Your presence at 8:30 AM tomorrow will not just be a show of support for me, but a commitment to the future of our constituency,” she added.
