New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Launching a blistering attack on Assam Congress party on Wednesday, lashing out at Opposition Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi Calling him “Rajkumar”, he predicted a series of defeats for the old and great party, even as he expressed confidence that the BJP-led National Development Alliance would achieve a “hat-trick” in the state, citing the strong state leadership under Sarbanand Sonowal and now Himanta Biswa Sarma.Addressing a public rally in Gogamukh, the Prime Minister struck an aggressive tone and indirectly mocked former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, calling him a “self-proclaimed prince”.Prime Minister Modi said, “This is my first public rally after the Assam elections were announced. The sea of ​​people in front of me, the enthusiasm of the youth, the blessings of my sisters and daughters, this love is a public declaration, and I will definitely achieve a hat-trick this time.”The Prime Minister reiterated his confidence and highlighted his own electoral record and the party’s performance in the state.Prime Minister Modi said: “With the blessings of all of you, I get the opportunity to perform a hat-trick as the Prime Minister. With your blessings, I also get the opportunity to perform a hat-trick in this land. I am here for the third time. With your blessings, the Assam government will also achieve a hat-trick.”He attributes the governance of the state in the past decade to the former chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal Current Prime Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Assam has entered a new phase of development and stability.Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “In the past decade, first under the leadership of Sarbananda Sonowal and then under Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam has witnessed a new era of service and good governance. These Assam elections are elections to build a developed Assam for a developed India.” This time, the BJP-NDA government will complete a hat-trick. Congress will also face a hat-trick of defeats.… The self-proclaimed Prince of Congress was doomed to a century of defeat. “The Prime Minister also referred to the recent manifesto released by the BJP, describing it as the blueprint for the future of the state.Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: “…the Assam Bharatiya Janata Party released a brilliant manifesto yesterday. Yesterday was Tuesday and this manifesto released on Tuesday will bring more ‘Mangal’ (auspiciousness) to Assam…this is the ‘Mangal Patra’ that arrived on Tuesday. “Prime Minister Modi highlighted key commitments and spoke about governance reforms and social initiatives, including the proposed Uniform Civil Code in the state.Prime Minister Modi said: “To ensure that our daughters are not deceived, we have also made many major announcements to ensure dignity, respect and safety in the lives of our daughters. Implementation of the Uniform Civil Code in Assam, protecting the traditions of our tribal society, Sixth Schedule areas, or saving the identity of Assam are very significant announcements. The BJP walks the talk. “In stark contrast to past governments, the Prime Minister blamed Congress for presiding over a period of instability and violence, while praising the National Development Agenda for bringing peace and development.Prime Minister Modi said: “Assam has gone through a long journey of development in the past ten years. These young people of 20-25 years have only witnessed the good governance of the BJP-NDA. They have not seen the dark days of Congress rule, when the only news coming out of Assam was bombs, guns, riots and curfews. The twin-engine government has shown a new path towards lasting peace for Assam. Over the past decade, thousands of Assam’s sons and daughters have put down their guns and moved towards a new future.“He also outlined plans to position Assam as a modern technology hub, including semiconductor manufacturing.“Once upon a time, Assam was famous for its tea. Now, Assam is not only famous for tea but also for chips. The day is not far when semiconductor factories in Assam will start producing chips. This will make Assam a major hub of modern technology. In the future, whether it is mobile phones, cars, TVs or refrigerators, all these products will use Assam chips. This is our roadmap for development,” said Prime Minister Modi.“On the infrastructure front, Prime Minister Modi accused the previous Congress government of neglect, especially in building connectivity on the Brahmaputra river.Prime Minister Modi said, “Assam is uniquely endowed with resources and has never lacked resources. But for the sake of power, the Congress Party divided Assam society and never allowed the two sides of the Brahmaputra River to be connected. In 1960-65, the Congress Party only built three bridges on the Brahmaputra River.” We lost a lot of people because of the lack of bridges. The dual-engine government understood the problem and completed 5 major bridges on the Brahmaputra in just 10-11 years.“The Prime Minister also pointed the finger at the Congress over the issue of illegal infiltration, insisting that the NDA government would continue to take strict action.Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Congress wants to settle foreigners in Assam and make the indigenous sons and daughters of this land a minority…The BJP-NDA government will not allow the lands of our farmers, tribals and forests to be occupied by infiltrators. The BJP-NDA government will continue to take action against illegal occupation. The pride and identity of Assam will continue to exist. This is Modi’s assurance.”“The rally marked a high-voltage campaign in Assam, which is scheduled to go to single-phase polls on April 9, with results due on May 4.
