Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress for allowing infiltrators to encroach on Assam's land for votes during its rule. Addressing a rally, Modi emphasized the BJP's role in preserving Assam's identity by evicting illegal encroachers. He highlighted BJP's rising popularity and electoral successes across India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a rally on Sunday, launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of permitting the encroachment of Assam's land by infiltrators during its longstanding rule in the region. Modi alleged that Congress compromised Assam's territorial integrity to secure votes.

Highlighting the BJP's efforts in Assam, Modi stated that his government is committed to safeguarding the state's identity and culture by removing illegal settlements on vital lands such as forests and animal corridors. The Prime Minister stressed that the BJP embodies governance and development, gaining trust from voters nationally.

Modi pointed to recent electoral victories, such as in Bihar and Maharashtra civic polls, as proof of the BJP becoming the electorate's favored choice. Citing the BJP's expansion into states like Kerala, Modi underscored the party's growing influence and the waning confidence in the Congress.
