PM Modi addresses Karimganj rally: Cong divided Assam in all forms, neither has leader nor policy or ideology
Elections for the 126-seater Assembly in Assam will be held between March 27 and April 6. Votes will be counted on May 2.
FollowKarimganj (Assam): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, blamed the Congress party for making Assam one of the most disconnected states in the country.
Addressing a rally in Karimganj in poll-bound Assam, PM also attacked the Congress party for its 'vote bank politics' and said that the NDA government overcame the injustice made in the state.
He hit out at the Congress for "keeping Assam disconnected from the rest of the country" and "damaging Assam socially, culturally, geographically and politically through its policies".
"Decades ago, this entire region was one that had better connectivity. However, Congress' corruption and vote-bank-based governance made Assam one of the most disconnected states in India," PM Modi said.
PM said that while the Congress party kept Assam divided in every way, BJP tried to connect Assam in every way. "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Biswas" — is the BJP's development mantra in Assam, he said.
Making an appeal to the voters of the northeastern state, the PM said that on one side, BJP has a policy, leadership and good intentions. "While on the other side, Congress neither has a leader nor policy or ideology," he said. He alleged that Congress has become so weak that it can go to any extent and join hands with anyone.
"The Congress today has become so weak that now it can do anything. It can join hands with anyone for votes. In West Bengal, it has formed an alliance with the Left front and is giving it 'Laal Salaam' (Red Salute). But in Kerala, it is fighting against the same Left front," he said.
"Can a party that doesn't have stable thinking give a stable govt to Assam?" PM questioned.
This time, the Assam Assembly election is being held in three phases. Voting for the first phase will be held on March 27 and for the last phase on April 6.
Votes of all the phases will be counted on May 2.
