Congress stalwart Priyanka Gandhi Vadra kicked off her two-day Assam sojourn in Guwahati on Thursday with a heartfelt visit to Maa Kamakhya Temple. Seeking divine intervention for the state’s and nation’s progress, she shared a poignant image on X, resonating with devotees and supporters alike.
‘Performed darshan at Maa Kamakhya Devi in Assam and received her aashirwad, praying for Assam and all of India’s welfare. Let Maa’s benevolence protect every Bharatvasi brother and sister. Jai Maa Kamakhya,’ her post proclaimed. Decked in the temple’s chunari, garlanded, and marked with tilak, she was joined by Lok Sabha member Gaurav Gogoi in this sacred ritual.
Fresh off the flight at Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Priyanka wasted no time, proceeding directly to the historic site for puja. This act not only fulfills personal piety but also signals her engagement with Assam’s vibrant cultural ethos.
Transitioning to politics, she arrived at Rajiv Bhawan to preside over key sessions on candidate nominations. Under her watchful eye, the selection is being handled with unprecedented rigor, drawing insights from booth-level workers to district conveners.
The agenda includes candidate appraisals, organizational audits, and fortifying ties between Assam’s unit and AICC. Party insiders stress prioritizing victors attuned to local pulse, aiming to tackle grassroots concerns head-on.
Anticipating frequent returns, Priyanka’s future tours will monitor advancements, harvest regional political wisdom, and sustain central-state synergy amid escalating campaign fervor. Congress is racing against time, with the debut candidate roster expected by February’s close post-leadership huddles, priming for electoral triumphs.
