Congress has joined hands with parties that are a danger to Assam's culture and heritage: PM Modi on Congress’s alliance in Assam
Development of every region of Assam is a priority for the BJP government. We are committed to ensure that the culture and heritage of the state remains protected: PM Modi
I assure that the NDA Government's campaign will be intensified to improve the standard of living of Tea Gardens workers, says PM Modi in Assam
NDA has built a strong foundation for Assam...it is time that we build on it. Congress is now looking to use it. They want to loot it like they did before: PM Modi in Chabua
Congress is only worried about the 'kursi.' It is the same Congress which have never worked towards providing land pattas to the indigenous people of the state. PM Modi

Resuming his election campaign in Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Chabua. Slamming the Congress party, the PM said, “India's oldest party, who ruled over India for 50-55 years, is supporting people who're trying to remove India's image associated with tea. Can we forgive the Congress for this? Don't they deserve to get punished?”

“A toolkit has been circulated that will defame the tea of Assam and our yoga. It has prepared a plan and the makes of this toolkit want to inflict losses on our tea plantations. The Congress party supports these toolkit makers and still has the audacity to ask for votes in Assam. Can we forgive a party such as this,” he asked.

Talking about the opposition’s blunder, he stated, “Congress has gone very far from the people of Assam. A few days ago, they shared a photo from Sri Lanka and said it was Assam. A few days ago, they shared a photo from Taiwan and said it was Assam. It is injustice and insult to our beautiful Assam.”

“Development of every region of Assam is a priority for the BJP government. We are committed to ensure that the culture and heritage of the state remains protected. The BJP government is continuously working to give new opportunities to the youth of Assam and to create a better environment for industries in Assam. Our government is also working hard to further empower the women of Assam and to increase the income of the farmers of Assam,” asserted PM Modi.

Addressing the public meeting, he remarked, “If 'Chaiwallah' won't understand tea workers' pain, who else would. We are working to increase the wages for tea garden workers. We tried to increase the wages but the matter ended up in the court and the opposition is targeting us for it. I assure that the NDA Government's campaign will be intensified to improve the standard of living of Tea Gardens workers.”

Also, PM Modi discussed on developmental works done by his government in last 5 years, he said, “You know very well what was the condition of the bridges on the Brahmaputra here 5 years ago. Leave the new bridges, which were started by the Atal ji government years ago, they were also hung by the Congress governments. We completed these projects quickly.”

“Assam has an integral role to play in the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. It can be an exporter of several organic foods, and not just tea. There are massive opportunities for production of organic fruits, vegetables and salads in this region,” he added.

Continuing his attack on Congress, PM Modi said, “On the one hand, our government is working on the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas - Sabka Vishwas', On the other hand, today the Congress has become the hub of false declarations. People from all over the country are watching and understanding their agenda behind lies.”

Urging the people of Assam to vote for the BJP, the PM remarked that to maintain peace in Assam, there was a constant need of the BJP government, the NDA government would maintain stability.

This year’s theme was Inclusive Human Development for Viksit Bharat@2047. It was attended by Chief Ministers, Lt. Governors and Administrators representing 28 States and 5 UTs. This was the first time when Chief Ministers of all 28 States participated in the Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog.

Prime Minister noted that at a time when many major economies are facing uncertainty and economic challenges, India’s growth story continues to inspire the world. He emphasized the need to further strengthen the nation’s resolve towards self-reliance and highlighted the importance of adopting and implementing global best practices, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

Underscoring the importance of cooperative federalism, Prime Minister stated that the Centre and the States must work together to achieve the goal of a Viksit Bharat. He stressed that the vision of Viksit Bharat should become the collective resolve of every State, district, block and village.

Highlighting the strength of India’s demographic profile, Prime Minister observed that the country’s youth constitute its greatest asset, with nearly 70 crore Indians below the age of 25 years. Calling this a demographic dividend, he urged States to focus on transforming it into a development dividend through education, skilling and capacity-building initiatives that prepare young people for future opportunities and challenges.

Referring to India’s recently concluded trade agreements with several countries, Prime Minister encouraged States to create opportunities for youth and MSMEs and to equip stakeholders to effectively leverage the benefits arising from these agreements. He also urged States to actively attract investments from partner countries.

Emphasizing women-led development, Prime Minister called upon States to work towards increasing the number of Lakhpati Didis from 3 crore to 6 crore and stressed the importance of ensuring a safe and secure environment for Nari Shakti.

He also identified defence manufacturing as an emerging sector where India is establishing a distinct identity and encouraged States to formulate policies to leverage the opportunities arising from its growth.

Prime Minister highlighted the need for coordinated efforts to address emerging social challenges such as drug abuse and cyber fraud through preventive measures, awareness campaigns and effective governance.

Prime Minister also drew attention to concerns arising from El Niño conditions and appealed to States to promote water conservation and encourage natural and organic farming practices. He noted that the purchase of 11 lakh tonnes of organic manure by farmers during the current Kharif season reflected growing confidence in sustainable agriculture.

Prime Minister emphasized the need to evaluate progress at the district level, particularly through aspirational district parameters. Prime Minister suggested that on similar lines, 100 districts should be identified in the field of agriculture to bring positive results. He urged the States to take lead in this pursuit so that a phenomenal change can be achieved through the aspirational approach.

Prime Minister emphasised the need for a monitoring framework and targeted 100-day and five-year goals towards achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.
