Addressing the media, the Chief Minister emphasized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's directive to understand and address the villager's issues.
"PM Modi instructed us to spend a day in the village and interact with the villagers to understand their problems. So that when PM Modi's government is reelected again, we can work towards solving these problems. In this sequence, I am here today and will stay here tonight. I will also talk to the beneficiaries of the village," he said.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal visited the Dirai Tea estate at Tingkhong in Assam's Dibrugarh district as part of the 'Gaon Chalo' Abhiyan.
The union minister spent the night in one of the homes at the Maaj line of the estate and interacted with the beneficiaries of various government schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin and Ujjwala Yojana in the area.
Sonowal also interacted with various sections of society, including sardars, chowkidars, and senior citizens.
Speaking on the occasion, Sonowal said, "It is a wonderful initiative launched by the party for all our party workers to reach out to every citizen who resides in India's more than seven lakh villages. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, India has been growing at an impressive rate, and people from villages, as well as urban areas have benefited from the multiple welfare schemes launched by the Modi government."
Sonowal joined the people of the village in conducting a cleanliness drive near the Durga mandir.
Sonowal also had dinner with the villagers while spending the night at the residence of a local at the Maaj Line of the Dirai Tea Estate.
