Union Home Minister Amit Shah will initiate a process of building a political narrative for the BJP for next year’s Assam assembly elections when he visits the state on August 29, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi also scheduled to visit the state within 10 days of Shah’s tour, the BJP’s Assam unit is working to ensure the success of the two trips, he said.
“Union Home Minister Amit Shah will come on August 29 and inaugurate the newly constructed Raj Bhavan in Guwahati,” Mr. Sarma told reporters after attending a preparatory meeting at the BJP’s state headquarters here on Friday (August 8, 2025) evening for the two high-profile visits.
In the second engagement of the day, Shah will attend a convention of recently elected panchayat representatives of NDA, and later in the evening, he will be the chief guest at the birth centenary celebration of the state’s first non-Congress CM, Golap Borbora, Mr. Sarma added.
The Chief Minister maintained that Mr. Shah’s visit is of significance as state elections are six to seven months away.
