Assam CM’s dance moves major draw at poll rallies in state

Guwahati: If his fiery speeches draw crowds to meetings, it’s the ‘dancing’ skills of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma that literally get the public on their feet.
With electioneering heating up in this northeastern state where polling for the 14 Lok Sabha seats is scheduled in the first three phases on April 19, 26 and May 7, the BJP’s star campaigner is out with his dancing moves to attract voters.
As Sarma campaigned across Jorhat constituency on Saturday, he ended his meetings by dancing to the BJP's theme song ‘Akou ebar Modi sorkar’ (Modi's government, once more), inviting enthusiastic participation from the audience.
Be it at the end of the rally in Sivsagar or in Mariani, the CM sang and danced, while urging the public to join, who readily obliged and joined their leader from the stands.
Accompanied by clapping and occasional jumps with fists in the air, Sarma's trademark moves added energy to his campaign.
In his speeches, Sarma outlined the various welfare measures of the BJP-led govts both at the Centre and the state, and exhorted the public to vote for Modi for a third successive term. Sharing a video of his lively campaign dance on X on Friday with the public joining him from the stands, he wrote: “We are #ModiKaParivaar. Of course we sing and dance in our rallies.”PTI
