Assam CM Pays Tribute to Gopinath Bordoloi on Death Anniversary

Guwahati, Aug 5 (PTI) - On the 75th death anniversary of Assam's first Chief Minister, Gopinath Bordoloi, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma praised Bordoloi's steadfast commitment to the people, noting that it continues to serve as an inspiration for future generations.

Sarma highlighted Bordoloi's resistance to the Cabinet Mission's Grouping Plan, which posed a risk of merging Assam with Bengal.

Sharing his thoughts on X, Sarma stated, "Today, on his punyatithi, we remember Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi, Assam's first Chief Minister and a towering figure of our state, whose unwavering dedication to our land and its people continues to inspire generations."

He further emphasized Bordoloi's instrumental role in opposing the Grouping Plan, which, had it succeeded, could have led to Assam's inclusion in East Pakistan. Bordoloi's efforts were pivotal in securing Assam's sovereignty and its integration into independent India.

With the observance of Lok Kalyan Diwas, the Chief Minister urged all to follow the ideals set by Bordoloi and to serve the people with the utmost dedication.
