In a move that could influence the political landscape ahead of the upcoming Assam assembly polls, 73 doctors from private nursing homes have formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The BJP has been actively courting professionals and healthcare workers in the run‑up to the elections, aiming to broaden its support base.

The 73 doctors have expressed confidence that their involvement will help shape health policies that benefit the wider community. They will now participate in party activities and contribute to policy discussions as the election campaign gains momentum. The BJP has pledged to address healthcare challenges in Assam, including rural medical outreach and facility upgrades, as part of its campaign platform.
