Assam Polls: Amit Shah holds mega Guwahati roadshow

Guwahati: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday held a grand roadshow in Guwahati.

The roadshow began at Arya Vidyapeeth College field and passed through key areas of the city before concluding near Nepali Mandir.

Shah attended a party meeting at the BJP’s state headquarters, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Bhawan.


He will also address two Vijay Sankalp Samaroh programmes in Dhekiajuli and Tihu on Sunday.

The BJP has expelled nine leaders for six years for contesting against officially nominated party candidates. The expelled leaders include Uddhav Das (Barpeta , Jayanta Kumar Das (Dispur), Jitendra Singh Gour (Kaliabor), Amalendu Das (Barkhola), Dhanjit Rabha (Goalpara West), Chakradhar Das (Bongaigaon), Gagan Chandra Haloi (Barpeta), Ankur Das (Kamalpur), and Yashoda Dulal (Shyamal) Rakshit (Lumding).

In a letter dated March 27, State BJP president Dilip Saikia said the action is taken under provisions of the party’s constitution. “For the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party has expelled the following party workers for six years with immediate effect for contesting against officially nominated party candidates. The action has been taken under Clause XXV-9 of the party constitution,” the letter stated.

In addition, six party workers have been removed from the party’s primary membership for supporting or assisting candidates contesting against BJP nominees, following directions from the State leadership. The disciplinary action comes at a crucial juncture, with polling for the Assam Assembly elections scheduled for April 9 and counting of votes set for May 4, as parties intensify their campaign efforts across the State.
