Under this campaign, the party initiated a website for Online Employment Registration for the unemployed youth of Assam – congressor5guarantee.in.
General Secretary of AICC Jitendra Singh said that under ‘Asom Basaon Ahok Yatra’ the party leadership got the opportunity to reach out to every nook & corner of the state and interact with the people.
