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.

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.
