Amidst the ongoing election campaigning in Jharkhand, PM Modi’s rally spree continued as he addressed an election rally in Dhanbad today. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude towards the people for their support and said the double-engine growth of Jharkhand became possible because the party was in power both at the Centre and in the state.

Highlighting the commitments fulfilled by his government, the PM said, "People across the country have faith on Bharatiya Janata Party as BJP delivers on its promises. In just 6 months, BJP has shown that no matter how big the resolutions are, no matter how big difficulties are, we worked day and night to complete them.”

Talking about abrogating Article 370, PM Modi said that people of the country elected Modi to take hard decisions. We only thought about the country and that is why article 370, which had been in existence for decades, was revoked. He said that today Article 370 had been removed from Jammu and Kashmir and the Constitution of India was enforced there.

Referring to the Ayodhya verdict, PM Modi asserted, “We had promised that we will peacefully solve the long standing Ayodhya issue, which the Congress was deliberately blocking. Now as you can see, the path for construction of a grand Ram Temple is open.”

Training his guns at the Opposition, he said, “All the work that has been done in the last 6 months, many of them were hanging for decades. And the credit for hanging them goes to the Congress and its allies, who ruled the country for the longest time.”

Hitting out at the opposition parties for opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, PM Modi remarked that the millions of refugees came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. They have been living in India for decades. They were only used for vote bank politics by the opposition parties.

PM Modi further alleged, “Congress in the past had promised relief to persecuted minority refugees but never did anything for them. The condition in which they were living in Pakistan, similar treatment was given by Congress governments to them. There are attempts to fuel tensions in the Northeast region. Most of the region is out of the ambit of this bill but politics of Congress and its allies depends on illegal immigrants.”

Addressing the huge rally, PM Modi made an appeal to the brothers and sisters of North East, especially Assam to not to get deceived by the opposition’s agenda. He urged, “I assure every state of the East and Northeast. The traditions, culture, language etc of Assam and other states will not be affected at all. Central Govt will work with state Govts for your development. Don't be misled by Congress's statements.”

Prime Minister Modi also talked about the several central schemes and projects which are benefiting the people of Jharkhand at large. He spoke about bringing IIT and AIIMS to the state which was pending for long, finally the BJP government has fulfilled the demand.

Calling for high voter turn out, PM Modi urged citizens of Jharkhand to come out and vote in large numbers.

PM Modi addresses a grand public rally in Guwahati, Assam
February 14, 2026
This year’s Budget places strong emphasis on making the North East economically self-reliant: PM Modi in Assam
Assam will continue to move ahead on the path of peace, security and rapid development: PM Modi
The Congress, frustrated after being out of power for ten years, wants to push Assam back into instability: PM’s strong jibe at the opposition
In 70 years of Congress rule, only 3 bridges were built over the Brahmaputra; in the last 10 to 11 years, BJP NDA has completed 5 major bridges: PM in Assam rally

PM Modi addressed a massive public rally in Guwahati, where he said the recent Union Budget has further strengthened the vision of the BJP-NDA for the development of Assam and the North East. Calling the North East “Ashtalakshmi,” he said the region was ignored for decades by Congress but is now being served with dedication.

He said this year’s Budget places strong emphasis on making the North East economically self-reliant. Assam will receive nearly fifty thousand crore rupees as its share of taxes this year, compared to only ten thousand crore rupees during the Congress era. He questioned whether a party that hesitated to give funds for Assam’s development could ever truly develop the state.

The Prime Minister said the Budget has further boosted connectivity in the region, noting that improved highways and road projects worth thousands of crores will expand employment and tourism. Referring to Pariksha Pe Charcha held aboard a cruise on the Brahmaputra, he said river tourism will be expanded further with provisions made in the Budget.

Highlighting a historic moment, PM Modi said the landing of an Air Force aircraft on a highway in Moran reflects Assam’s growing strength. He said there was a time when the North East was associated with broken roads, but today, highways are being built where even aircraft can land. He credited the BJP government in Assam and the spirit of “Mera Booth Sabse Majboot” for this transformation. He urged workers to safeguard every vote at every booth.

On national security, the PM said the new emergency landing strip symbolises a New India that is fully prepared to defend itself. Paying tribute to the brave soldiers martyred in the Pulwama attack, he said the world has seen how India responds firmly to terrorism. He stated that Congress never prioritised national security and kept the North East in fear and instability.

Contrasting development under BJP and Congress, PM Modi said that in seventy years of Congress rule, only three bridges were built over the Brahmaputra. In the last ten to eleven years, BJP-NDA has completed five major bridges. He said Congress gave Assam problems while BJP delivered solutions. He added that several more bridges are under construction, which will accelerate growth across Assam and the North East.

PM Modi said that the BJP ensures that every major national initiative benefits Assam and the North East simultaneously. Assam was connected early to Vande Bharat trains and recently became the starting point of the country’s first Vande Bharat sleeper train. He said Assam is emerging as a growth engine in the semiconductor sector.

On digital connectivity, he said, while Congress failed to expand 3G and 4G effectively to the region, the BJP ensured 5G reached villages across Assam and the North East through a saturation approach. Guwahati youth are now benefiting from high-speed internet, and the new NIC Data Centre will create further opportunities.

In healthcare, PM Modi said that in 2014, India had only six AIIMS, but today there are more than twenty, including AIIMS Guwahati. Several medical colleges and cancer hospitals have also been established in Assam. He announced approval of the PM Relief Scheme.

He highlighted the expansion of higher education institutions such as IIM Palashbari, the modernisation of IIT Guwahati, and the establishment of IARI in Assam, which will create new technology leaders.

Speaking about peace and stability, PM Modi said Congress kept Assam disturbed for decades with violence, blockades and unrest. He said the BJP NDA has restored peace, with several groups, including Bodo, Karbi, Adivasi, DNLA and ULFA, choosing the path of the Constitution over violence. He warned that Congress, frustrated after being out of power for ten years, wants to push Assam back into instability and hand it over to infiltrators. He said the people must remain alert and protect Assam’s identity.

Concluding his address, PM Modi thanked the people of Assam for their continued trust and said with Modi ki Guarantee and a strong BJP NDA government, Assam will continue to move ahead on the path of peace, security and rapid development.
