Congress also won most of the gaon panchayat president posts (1,172) and anchalik panchayat member posts (1,161). BJP insiders said the focus of the session was on the state budget and how to take welfare schemes and government's development plans to the rural masses.At the meeting, BJP president Ranjit Kumar Das said party members should ensure that each and every aspect of the budget is explained to people. "The state budget is one of the best and people of the state should be aware of the benefits. It is the duty of every party member to make people aware of the schemes and plans outlined in the budget," said Das.A special booklet highlighting various schemes and plans of the budget was distributed among party workers.Finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma , who attended the session, said the government is committed to implementing the schemes and plans within the stipulated time.
