Induction Held at AGP’s Ambari Office
The joining ceremony took place at the AGP’s headquarters in Ambari, a key political location in central Guwahati. Senior party leaders formally welcomed the new entrants and handed over membership documents during the event.
The participation of former student leaders marks a transition from campus-level activism to formal political engagement.
