The document emphasizes accountability, integrity, and a people-centric approach to governance, positioning it as a roadmap for a “self-sufficient and developed Dima Hasao.”
The manifesto prioritizes the implementation of Article 244(A) for the creation of an autonomous state within Assam comprising Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao district, an increase of one MLA seat in the district and a Lok Sabha constituency for the district, implementation of the Memorandum of Settlement signed by the then surrendered extremist group, and the establishment of a medical college, engineering college, agricultural college, and the Assam Hills Tribes Development Corporation, as well as bringing the Sports Authority of India’s Special Area Games (SAG) project to Dima Hasao.
It also mentions a focus on tourism development, water supply, and infrastructure development in the district.
It also highlights the broader developmental narrative under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing significant progress in infrastructure, digital connectivity, and social welfare across the country. It also credits the leadership of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for translating the national vision into tangible outcomes within the state, particularly in sectors like road connectivity, healthcare, education, and law and order.
At the district level, the party acknowledged the role of Chief Executive Member Debolal Gorlosa in accelerating development initiatives. The manifesto points to ongoing improvements in rural infrastructure, livelihood generation, and the preservation of the region’s socio-cultural heritage as key achievements of the current administration.
Framed in alignment with the broader goal of “Viksit Bharat 2047,” the BJP’s Dima Hasao manifesto places strong emphasis on youth and women’s empowerment, sustainable development, and inclusive progress across all communities.
Party leaders expressed confidence that the manifesto, shaped by public aspirations and feedback, would resonate with voters.
They called for continued public support to carry forward the ongoing development momentum and build a stronger, more prosperous future for Dima Hasao.
