PM Modi addresses a massive public meeting in Barpeta

On BJP Foundation Day, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to every karyakarta and every person connected with the BJP family, says PM Modi
The people of Assam have decided that the BJP–NDA government will score a hat-trick this time: PM Modi in Barpeta
PM Modi says the ‘Naamdaar’ from the Congress royal family will also make his century of defeats and Assam will be the one to make this happen
Peace has returned to Assam after many years of effort and sacrifice. That is why it is very important to keep Congress away from Assam: PM in Barpeta

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive public meeting in Barpeta, as election campaigning in Assam gathered strong momentum. Addressing an enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi highlighted the vision of a self-reliant and Viksit Assam, while underscoring the NDA government’s commitment to peace, prosperity and inclusive growth.

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 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.
