‘Jail for even uttering the word infiltrator…’: PM Modi’s big charge on Congress in Poll-bound Assam

Narendra Modi addressed a massive public rally in Assam ahead of the crucial elections, invoking the spirit of Bohag Bihu while urging voters to participate in what he called the “festival of democracy.” Highlighting the BJP-NDA’s development agenda, Modi expressed confidence in a hat-trick victory in the state and launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing it of corruption, short-term politics, and neglect of farmers and tribal communities. The Prime Minister outlined key achievements of his government, including higher MSP for farmers, direct benefit transfers, infrastructure development, and welfare schemes for women such as the Lakhpati Didi initiative. He also emphasized the importance of peace in the Northeast, claiming significant progress in reducing violence and integrating youth into the mainstream.
