PM Modi Slams Congress in Assam: 'Infiltration Threatens Demography, Abuse Won't Stop Development'

In a powerful and charged address from Nalbari, Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a no-holds-barred critique of the Congress party, accusing them of actively facilitating infiltration into the state, thereby jeopardizing its unique demographic and cultural fabric. Speaking to a massive gathering, PM Modi asserted that Congress’s policies over decades have been driven by cynical vote-bank politics, which he claims has deliberately encouraged illegal immigration, fundamentally altering the character of 'Mother Assam'.

The Prime Minister did not shy away from addressing the constant personal attacks leveled against him by the opposition.

He highlighted that despite enduring over 2.5 lakh instances of verbal abuse, including being labeled a "dictator" and "corrupt," he remains unwavering in his commitment to the nation's progress. "The more mud they throw, the more the lotus will bloom," Modi declared, turning the criticism into a testament to the BJP's resilience and focus on development.

Modi contrasted the BJP's vision for Assam with what he described as Congress's historical neglect and divisive tactics.

He pointed out that while the Congress ruled for over 60 years, they failed to address critical issues like infiltration and often exploited social divisions for political gain. In stark contrast, he emphasized the BJP government's dedicated efforts towards ensuring a peaceful, developed, and secure Assam, protecting its indigenous communities and rich heritage.

The Prime Minister reiterated his government's commitment to empowering Assam, from the vibrant tea garden workers to the custodians of the exquisite Muga silk.

He painted a picture of a prosperous Assam, thriving under the 'double-engine' government, where development and cultural preservation go hand-in-hand. Modi’s speech served as a clarion call, urging the electorate to recognize the profound choice before them in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections – a choice between the progressive, protective policies of the BJP and the alleged destructive, divisive politics of the Congress.

The rally underscored the BJP's strategic focus on Assam, a state pivotal to its 'Act East' policy and national security.

Modi's strong words against infiltration and his defense against personal attacks signal a vigorous campaign ahead, where the battle for Assam's future, its identity, and its development will undoubtedly be central to the political discourse.
