People of Assam have decided 'Phir ek baar, NDA sarkar': PM Modi in Tamulpur
Double engine BJP govt has given double benefits to Assam: PM Modi in Tamulpur
It is country's misfortune that working for a particular section is called secularism while working for everyone gets you called communal: PM Modi
I can say that people have decided to form NDA govt in Assam. They can't bear those who insult Assam's identity and propagate violence, says the PM

Addressing his last rally in Assam’s Tamulpur ahead of last phase of assembly elections in the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “People of Assam have decided 'Phir ek baar, NDA sarkar'. People who have insulted Assam's identity repeatedly, the people of Assam will not tolerate them. People who have established violence and instability in Assam for decades, are not accepted. The people of Assam are with development and peace.”

“The double-engine government of NDA has given double benefits to the people of Assam in the last five years. The development taking place is improving connectivity, making lives easier for women and increasing opportunities for the youth,” he added.

Attacking the grand alliance of Congress and AIUDF, the Prime Minister asserted, “The games of secularism-communism has done a lot of damage to the country. We are working hard, day in and out to serve the society with honesty for development." PM Modi further added, "The 'Mahajhooth' of 'Mahajot' has been disclosed. On the basis of my political experience, and audience love, I can say that people have decided to form NDA government in Assam. They can't bear those who insult Assam's identity and propagate violence.”

Talking about the aspirational districts, he stated, “For the first time, a government is working on 100 districts that had been left behind in the race of development under the 'Aspirational Districts' programme. These districts are now aspiring for development and 7 of Assam's districts are under this programme.”

“The way we have solved long-standing problems, we will continue to find solutions for the current problems. There's a lot of scope for tourism and employment in Assam,” he said while addressing a public meeting Tamulpur.

PM Modi said that his Government had always worked without discrimination. He remarked, “It is country's misfortune that working for a particular section is called secularism while working for everyone gets you called communal.”

The Prime Minister urged everyone especially the youth to vote in large numbers in favour of the NDA. He also thanked women from the state who turned out in record numbers in the rallies.

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today chaired the valedictory session of the two-day National Departmental Summit on Water, organised by the Ministry of Jal Shakti. The Summit is the first in a series of Departmental Summits envisioned by Prime Minister to strengthen the spirit of Team India, deepen cooperative federalism and foster collective ownership of national priorities through closer collaboration between the Centre and the States. It brought together Ministers and senior officials from States and Union Territories for focused deliberations on various dimensions of India’s water security.

Prime Minister appreciated the intensive two-day deliberations and emphasised that the actionable and time-bound action points emerging from the Summit should be pursued through a continuous process of review and learning. He suggested that the Summit should not remain a one-time exercise and called for a continuous process of review and follow-up.

Prime Minister called for sensitising Urban Local Bodies to the challenges arising from urbanisation, including population growth and future water requirements, and suggested organising similar Chintan Shivirs for Urban Local Bodies. He called for greater adoption of water-saving technologies. He also suggested dedicated exhibitions and workshops, including exposure to global best practices, to enable Indian manufacturers and stakeholders to develop and scale efficient solutions.

Emphasising Jan Bhagidari, Prime Minister suggested promoting “Jal Utsav” to create greater awareness among people. Prime Minister called for making de-silting a regular programme and developing clear criteria and SOPs for de-silting. On dam safety, he stressed rigorous preparedness before every monsoon, adherence to prescribed precautions and creating awareness among school students, including through suitable incorporation in educational curricula.

Prime Minister further called for strengthening knowledge and capacity on water management and governance in universities and higher educational institutions. He suggested structured inter-State study-visits involving public representatives, officials and farmers to facilitate practical learning and replication of successful interventions.

Prime Minister called for robust water data governance, with water-sector data brought together, systematically managed, analysed and effectively utilised. He recommended the use of AI for data collection and analysis through a uniform format. He also stressed anticipatory and integrated planning to address water scarcity through suitable utilisation of treated water for agriculture and industrial purposes.

Drawing upon his experience as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister noted that instances of water scarcity could be transformed into opportunities through systematic planning, commitment and deployment of adequate resources and capable officers.

Union Minister for Jal Shakti Shri C. R. Patil highlighted four key outcomes of the summit: accelerated completion of water infrastructure projects; strengthening water conservation as a sustained people’s movement; ensuring long-term sustainability of drinking-water sources; and institutionalising effective operation and maintenance of rural drinking-water schemes.
