Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a gathering in Assam's Darrang, said his first visit to the state after the recently concluded 'Operation Sindoor' carried special significance. Calling the operation a “huge success with the blessings of Maa Kamakhya”, he said visiting this sacred land during Janmashtami gave him a unique divine experience. He also recalled his Red Fort speech, where he invoked Chakradhari Shri Krishna, linking it to his vision of a future security policy symbolised by the Sudarshan Chakra.
Tribute to Bhupen Hazarika

He reaffirmed that the BJP’s double-engine government remains committed to realising the dreams of Assam’s great sons like Hazarika.

Modi added, "When the 'Namdaar' beats the 'Kamdaar' and if the 'Kamdaar' cries out in pain, they torture him even more, saying that you don't even have the right to cry. How can you cry being a 'Kamdaar' in front of the 'Namdaar'?... The people of the country, music lovers, art lovers, people who are giving their lives for the soul of India, should ask the Congress why they insulted Bhupen Da? Respecting the cultural heritage of Assam, preserving it, and the rapid development of Assam have been the priorities of the double-engine government...".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that development projects worth nearly Rs 6,500 crore have been launched in Assam, reaffirming the government’s focus on making the state a hub for connectivity and healthcare excellence. He stressed that these initiatives reflect the commitment of the double-engine government to building a Viksit Bharat. Highlighting the aspirations of the youth, he stated that for them, a developed India is both a dream and a mission. Modi added that the next phase of the 21st century belongs to the East and the North East, underscoring the region’s crucial role in shaping India’s future.

Congress backing Pakistan-groomed terrorists
PM Modi alleged that the Congress, instead of supporting the country's army, was backing terrorists groomed by Pakistan. Addressing a programme at Mangaldoi in Assam's Darrang district, he accused the grand old party of protecting infiltrators and anti-national forces. The prime minister asserted that the BJP would not allow infiltrators to grab land and their conspiracy to change the demography.
"The Congress, instead of supporting the Indian Army, backs terrorists groomed by Pakistan. It protects infiltrators and anti-national forces," the PM alleged, while addressing the public meeting.
He also claimed that the Congress ruled Assam for decades, but built "only three bridges" over the Brahmaputra river, while the BJP-led dispensation constructed six such structures in the last 10 years.
