PM Modi in Assam: Congress kept Assam divided in every way, BJP tried to connect it

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing a public rally in Assam on Thursday accused the Congress of creating divide in Assam. Also, said the party neither has a leader nor policy or any ideology.

“Congress 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,” PM Modi said.

Speaking in Assam’s Karimganj, he added, “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.”
