Tea is a symbol of pride for Assamese people. However, the
conditions of tea workers are deplorable. In a recent BBC
report, a tea garden worker gets paid less than 1% of the market
tea price.
More than 1,25,000 small tea growers are operating without
land pattas.
In the context of such an abject apathy displayed by the Congress
government that has been in power for more than 55 years in Assam,
Bharatiya Janata Party sees the state as full of potential. If voted to
power, we will undertake honest efforts to ameliorate the situation first.
Thereby, we will sincerely work to transform this tremendous potential
into reality. Through this vision cum action document, we wish lay out
a threadbare approach towards safeguarding the culture and identity of
Assam, developing it as one of the most developed states in the country
visualising it as ‘Xarvasreshtha Axom’.
