In a scathing address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress, accusing it of neglecting Assam and fostering insurgency during its governance. Speaking at a public meeting, Modi alleged that insecurity reigned in Assam under Congress' rule, emphasizing that BJP is resolute in ending illegal immigration and ensuring the state's security.

Modi underscored BJP's progress in infrastructure, highlighting the construction of five bridges across the Brahmaputra in a decade, a stark contrast to Congress' three in seventy years. He stressed the government's commitment to Assam's all-around development, pledging to protect and promote the region's identity and traditions, with prospects of the state gaining global fame for semiconductor chips.

The Prime Minister also referenced BJP's security measures, noting the inauguration of the Northeast's first emergency landing facility in Assam. Modi urged party workers to connect with the people, securing not just electoral victories but also winning over citizens' hearts and minds.
