"I would like to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP National President JP Nadda, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, General Secretary of BJP BL Santhosh among others who helped me get ahead with the procedure of filing the nomination and for giving me the opportunity to represent the party at Rajya Sabha. I hope that the public of Assam will give me their blessings and support. It is because of the people of Assam that I have got the chance to serve my nation," Sonowal said while talking to the media.
