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.

India- Republic of Korea Joint Statement on Energy Resource Security
April 20, 2026

1. India and the Republic of Korea are Special Strategic Partners with a common vision for an open, inclusive and prosperous Indo-Pacific region.

2. The central pillar of our Special Strategic Partnership is a long and trusted economic and energy resource partnership, grounded in a shared commitment to open markets and rules-based trade, which underpins our prosperity and economic security. Reaffirming these shared principles and understanding the impact of current situation on industries and markets is essential at this time.

3. We endeavour to advance our energy resource trade and investment cooperation through the India-ROK Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and relevant bilateral frameworks. India is a key supplier to the ROK of naphtha and other petroleum feedstocks, while the ROK is a leading supplier to India of petroleum products and lubricant base oils.

4. We are committed to working together to strengthen energy resource supply chain resilience, including through deepening regional cooperation, accelerating energy transition and supporting open trade arrangements for energy resources. We recognized the need to explore closer collaboration as major LNG consumer to enhance market stability, transparency, and better reflect buyers’ perspectives.

5. We recognize our shared commitment to resilient trade in energy. We recognize that resilient maritime infrastructure, including shipbuilding, is critical to ensuring the energy security of both countries. We acknowledge the importance of a robust and diversified shipbuilding ecosystem, in supporting the safe, reliable and efficient transportation of energy resources.

6. Against this backdrop, India and the ROK endeavour to:


- maintain a stable, secure and reliable supply of energy resources to each other, including efforts by both countries to maintain open trade in naphtha and other petroleum products; and cooperation in entire energy value chain.

- explore closer collaboration among LNG-consuming countries

- strengthen cooperation in the shipbuilding sector, including though not limited to, setting up shipyards in India, shipyard modernization, human resource development, and technology partnership.

7. India and the ROK call on regional partners to join in ensuring global energy resource supply chains are kept open, for the benefit of the security and prosperity of our peoples.
