Once bitten, twice shy: CM personally reviews preparation for Modi visit

GUWAHATI: A microphone disorder during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address at Jerenga Pathar in Sivasagar left the Assam government red faced.

And Modi is visiting again within a fortnight. The Assam government as well as the ruling BJP are taking no chance this time.

Not only are party leaders supervising the preparations for the prime minister’s visit on Monday, chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and senior cabinet colleague Himanta Biswa Sarma have personally inspected the preparations.

Inspecting the venue at Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur district, Sonowal today said the people of Assam are indebted to Modi “because of his sincere love towards the people”.
