Conflict between illegal migrants and Indians: BJP

He said the Congress conceded to the pressure of its Muslim MLAs in the state Assembly to force the then chief minister Bimala Prasad Chaliha to drop his drive against illegal Bangladeshi migrants in the early 1960s.

Alleging that the UPA government has been promoting corruption and has been a failure on economic fronts,he asserted that the violence in Assam was reflective of the governments failure on the issues of internal and external security.

Gadkari announced he will ask his state unit chiefs to keep party headquarters open for the students from northeastern states and suggested party workers to act as guardians for the students living in their neighbourhood to instil a sense of security among them.

Earlier,BJP leaders led a farmers protest against alleged faulty policies of UPA. Congress is looting people. The government cant protect farmers,cant provide justice to them. Farmers are under debt because of the UPAs policies, he said.
