Guwahati, May 21 (IANS) Newly elected MLA from Assam’s Ranganadi Assembly constituency, Rishiraj Hazarika, on Thursday pledged to work towards transforming the region into one of the state’s most developed constituencies over the next five years.

Speaking to reporters on the floor of the Assam Assembly, Hazarika said the people of Ranganadi had not sent him to Dispur merely as a political leader, but as a representative entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding their aspirations and welfare.

According to Hazarika, the trust reposed in him by the people has increased his sense of accountability towards public service and development.

“The people of Ranganadi did not send me to Guwahati only as a leader. They sent me as their representative with hopes and aspirations. It is my duty to fulfil those expectations through sincere work and dedication,” he added.

The legislator also said that the constituency’s developmental challenges and public grievances would be addressed through close coordination with the state government.

He reiterated that his focus would remain on strengthening infrastructure, improving public services and ensuring inclusive development for all sections of society in the constituency.
