TIL Desk/National/Guwahati/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the new Assam will be ‘Atmanirbhar’ and after May 2, the new BJP-led government would step up its developmental mission with a renewed zeal. Modi said that many developmental projects, including road connectivity, have been accomplished and many more are being undertaken to transform Assam into an ‘Atmanirbhar’ state.”The people of Assam are keen to go with peace and development… they do not want any division in society,” the Prime Minister said, while addressing an election rally in Tamulpur in Baksa district.
The Tamulpur assembly constituency in western Assam would go to the polls in the third phase, on April 6. Congress ally Bodoland People’s Front candidate Rangja Khungur Basumatary switched sides to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party earlier this week. The Prime Minister, in his speech, urged militants who are still following the path of terrorism to lay down their arms and join the mainstream of life for building a peaceful and ‘Aatmanirbhar’ new Assam.
Saying that ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ is the “basic mantra” of the party and its mission is to work for the country and its development, the Prime Minister said that the BJP is not doing vote bank politics. Terming the Congress led 10-party ‘Mahajot’ as ‘Mahajooth'(grand lie), Modi said that the Congress had betrayed all the ethnic communities in Assam. “The people have rejected the parties attacking the identity of Assam for decades.”
