PM Modi addressed massive public meetings in Barpeta, Hojai and Dibrugarh, as election campaigning in Assam gathered strong momentum. Addressing enthusiastic crowds, PM Modi highlighted the vision of a self-reliant and Viksit Assam. He launched a strong attack on Congress, accusing it of promoting family-first politics, corruption, and false promises. He also spoke about expanding welfare initiatives along with ensuring reservation for women through the Nari Shakti Vandan Act.

Opening his address on a confident note, the PM said, “The people of Assam have made two things certain this time- first, the BJP-NDA government will return for a third term in the state and second, the Congress will continue its record of defeats.” Amid loud chants of ‘Aakou Ebaar… BJP Shorkar’ he said the massive turnout in Barpeta reflected the public’s clear mood.

He stated, “On BJP Foundation Day, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to every karyakarta and every person connected with the BJP family. With the mantra of Nation First, we are dedicated to the service of Maa Bharati. Our resolve is to build an Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

Emphasising the theme of Atmanirbhar Assam, Viksit Assam, PM Modi drew a sharp contrast between the BJP and the Congress. “Congress has never worked with a long-term vision. It focuses on short-term gains, often driven by corruption. The BJP, on the other hand, works with a clear and long-term vision for development,” he said. He added that the past decade laid the foundation of peace and stability in Assam, while the coming years would expand prosperity and self-reliance.

Highlighting Assam’s growing potential, PM Modi said improved connectivity and infrastructure are boosting tourism and economic opportunities. Referring to the region’s cultural and spiritual significance, he noted that places like Maa Kamakhya and Manas National Park are attracting increasing attention.

Focusing on farmers, PM Modi shared key achievements of the government. “Today, the MSP for paddy has increased significantly compared to earlier years and our government has ensured record procurement. In the last ten years, we have given four times more MSP to farmers than before 2014,” he said. He also announced that Assam’s Joha rice has begun exports to international markets like the UK and Italy, calling it a moment of pride for local farmers.

On women empowerment, he highlighted several welfare initiatives. “From housing and sanitation to free gas connections and financial inclusion, our schemes have empowered crores of women. Under the Lakhpati Didi initiative, nearly three crore women have become financially empowered,” he said.

He also reiterated the government’s commitment to women’s reservation, urging political parties to support the initiative unanimously.

PM Modi added, “Therefore, our government has called a special session from 16 April to make the necessary amendments. But some people are trying to spread confusion even about this noble work.
No state will suffer any loss because of this. The representation of those states that have worked to control population will not be reduced.”

Addressing the issue of tribal welfare and peace in the Northeast, PM Modi criticised the Congress for decades of neglect. “For years, tribal areas suffered from poverty and violence. Today, we are witnessing a new era of peace and development in the Northeast,” he said, adding that thousands of youth have been brought into the mainstream through peace efforts.

On national security, the PM accused the Congress of undermining the armed forces.

“While our forces have shown unmatched bravery, Congress has often echoed the narrative of our adversaries,” he remarked. He also highlighted the implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP), noting that over ₹1.24 lakh crore has been disbursed to ex-servicemen.

Raising concerns about Assam’s identity and security, PM Modi alleged that Congress policies had enabled illegal encroachments and weakened local interests. “The BJP-NDA government is committed to protecting Assam’s identity and securing its future,” he asserted, urging voters to remain vigilant.

In his second rally of the day in Hojai, PM Modi cited examples from Congress-ruled states; he said their guarantees fail on the ground and warned Assam’s voters to stay cautious of misleading promises. He also raised concerns over illegal infiltration and its impact on Assam’s identity, land, and employment.

At Dibrugarh rally, he sharply criticised Congress, accusing it of treating land as an “ATM” for vested interests. He highlighted how BJP-NDA is working to provide land rights to farmers, tribal communities and tea garden families. He also reiterated the government’s commitment to implementing 33% reservation for women through the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, urging all parties to support its implementation for the 2029 elections.

In his concluding remarks, the Prime Minister called for maximum voter participation. “The time for voting is here. In the coming days, we must work with full dedication to secure victory at every booth,” he said. He also extended Bohag Bihu greetings and urged people to share his best wishes with others.

Cabinet approves Upgradation and Modernisation of Nagpur International Airport through long term license involving Private Partner under Public Private Partnership (PPP)
May 13, 2026

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today has approved the Extension of Lease Period of the Airports Authority of India (AAI)’s land leased to MIL (MIHAN India Limited) beyond 06.08.2039, so as to enable MIL to license Nagpur Airport to the Concessionaire, viz. GMR Nagpur International Airport Limited (GNIAL) for 30 years since Commercial Operation Date (COD).

This marks a major milestone in Nagpur airport’s journey to becoming a regional aviation hub under the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) project.

In 2009, a Joint Venture Company (JVC)- MIL was formed by AAI and Maharashtra Airport Development Company Ltd. (MADC) with equity structure of 49:51 respectively. Though Airport assets of AAI were transferred to MIL in 2009 for airport operation, the lease deed got delayed due to land demarcation issues. Subsequently, AAI land has been leased to MIL up to 06.08.2039.

In 2016, MIL floated a global tender for identifying a Partner to operate the airport under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. GMR Airports Ltd. (GAL) emerged as the highest bidder, with quoted revenue share of 5.76%. This was later revised to 14.49% of Gross Revenue. Subsequently, MIL annulled the bidding process in March, 2020. This annulment was successfully challenged by GAL before Hon'ble Bombay High Court. Thereafter, Hon’ble Supreme Court of India also ruled in favor of GAL. Pursuant to Supreme Court Judgement dated 27th September, 2024, MIL signed Concession Agreement with 2nd JVC, i.e. GMR Nagpur International Airport Ltd. (GNIAL) on 8th October, 2024.

A New Era for Nagpur Airport :

With extension of Lease Period of the AAI land leased to MIL beyond 06.08.2039, it would now become co-terminus with the 30 years Concession Period of GNIAL, paving the way for handing over of airport to 2nd JVC-GNIAL. This is expected to usher in a new era of growth and infrastructure advancement for Nagpur Airport. With private sector efficiency and government oversight, the Airport is poised to see significant investment, modernization, and improved passenger and cargo services — Government of India's vision for robust infrastructure development in the aviation sector.

GNIAL will take up the transformation of Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport into a world-class facility with phased development envisaged to reach the ultimate capacity of handling 30 million passengers annually, positioning it as a key Airport in Central India. This transformation is set to not only enhance connectivity within the Vidarbha region, but also strengthen its economic infrastructure. Cargo handling capabilities would also be significantly boosted.
