If BJP wins for 3rd time, infiltrators will be removed ‘one by one’: Amit Shah in Assam

Dibrugarh is one of the major centres of tea production in Assam. On the India-EU trade deal, Shah said Dibrugarh would get the “biggest benefit”.

“The tea grown in the tea gardens here will reach the morning tea cups of Europeans with zero tariff in all 27 countries of the European Union. A very big market has been opened for Assam’s tea by Modi ji…This is Modi’s miracle — a road for our tea to reach from Paris to Berlin has been opened,” he said.

Declaring that Assam is a priority region for the Central government, he launched an attack on the Congress. “Today, if there is infrastructure development, the first priority for us is Assam. Wildlife and environment projects, our first priority is Assam… Be it Railways, waterways, airports, or industries, in every field, the BJP’s leaders and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi give Assam priority. And what did the Congress do? From Dibrugarh’s stage, I want to ask Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, what did you give Assam? Bullets, bomb explosions, conflict, and the deaths of youths. After the BJP government was formed, after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, there have been more than 20 agreements across the Northeast. Ten-thousand youths have dropped their arms, and Assam and the Northeast have been made secure,” he said.

He went on to further criticise Rahul Gandhi in connection with a controversy over his purportedly not wearing a gamusa given at the President’s At-Home programme on Republic Day.
