The new members included youth, women, and senior citizens from different communities, who said they were inspired by the development initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The joining ceremony was attended by Dhriti Thaosen, District BJP President and Member of the Autonomous Council (MAC), along with Executive Member Monjit Naiding. Also present were MACs Rupali Langthasa, Ratan Jarambusa, and Monjoy Langthasa, besides BJP ST Morcha District Committee Secretary Kadhar Daulagupu, Diyungbra Mandal President Denath Langthasa, Mandal Treasurer Phukan Phonglo, and several party workers.

They expressed confidence that the new entrants would strengthen the party's organisational base and contribute to developmental initiatives in the region.
Earlier in the day, leaders inaugurated the newly constructed Public Works Department (PWD) Inspection Bungalow (IB) at Diyungbra.
