Guwahati, March 9 – Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma congratulated National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates Jogen Mohan, Teroes Gowala, and Pramod Boro on Monday after they were unopposed elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam.
In a post on social media platform X, the Chief Minister extended his "heartfelt congratulations and best wishes" to the three leaders and expressed confidence that they would effectively represent the interests of the state in the Upper House of Parliament.
"Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to our NDA candidates, Shri Jogen Mohan, Shri Teroes Gowala, and Shri Pramod Boro, on being unopposed elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam," CM Sarma wrote in his post on Monday.
He added that he was confident the newly elected members would raise the concerns of Assam and its people in Parliament while supporting the broader agenda of the Union government.
"I am confident that they will skillfully represent Assam in the Upper House and continue to speak for the people of our state while supporting the nationalist and development agenda of our Union government in Parliament," the Chief Minister said.
The three NDA nominees were unopposed elected after no opposition candidates filed nominations for the Rajya Sabha seats from Assam, reflecting the alliance's strong position in the state Legislative Assembly.
Jogen Mohan, a senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former minister in the Assam government, has long been associated with the party's organizational and political activities in the state.
Teroes Gowala, also from the BJP, has been an active political figure and represents the tea garden community, which forms a significant section of Assam's population.
Meanwhile, Pramod Boro, president of the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL) and Chief Executive Member of the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), represents a regional ally of the BJP within the NDA coalition.
Their unopposed election is expected to strengthen the NDA's presence from Assam in the Rajya Sabha, with the alliance reiterating its commitment to highlighting the state's development priorities and regional issues at the national level.
