Women from the region played an important role from the six-year-old foreign national expulsion movement that started in 1979 until the AGP party in 1985, after which women activists still played an important role as the main driving force of the AGP party.
“Even every time I have been elected as an MLA, women party workers have been able to campaign from house to house to the voters,” said West Guwahati MLA and AGP general secretary Ramendra Narayan Kalita.
MLA Ramendra Narayan Kalita made the remarks while participating as the chief guest at the general meeting held on forming a new committee of West Guwahati Mahila Vidhan Parishad of AGP at Assam Training College auditorium at Lakeshwar in Guwahati on July 9.
Addressing the meeting, MLA Kalita said that women workers on the party’s nearly 37-year-old journey since its birth had boosted the morale of other workers by keeping the party alive even on the bad days of the party.
In a brief speech at a meeting chaired by West Guwahati Mahila Vidhan Parishad Leader Gitanjali Nath Kakati, AGP Secretary Subhash Sharma urged women workers always to work diligently. He urged them to work towards ensuring that the organisational strength of AGP in West Guwahati is always strong.
