Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (Mar 30, 2026) said the last decade of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s two-engine rule had ended years of instability in Assam, stressing the need to sensitize first-time voters on the misrule of the Congress.
As part of the ‘Mera Booth, Sabse Mazboot Samvaad’ incentive programme, Mr Modi said he had to remind people of the Congress’s use of “misleading” and “ineffective” peace deals as he addressed about five lakh party workers at the booth level in the polling state. He claimed that things have changed after the BJP came to power in Assam.
“Today we can see new confidence as the twin-engine BJP government has made all efforts for peace,” he said, urging workers to work harder for the BJP-led NDA government’s hat-trick of electoral victory in Assam.
Mr. Modi advised the party workers to bring to the attention of the first-time voters about the misgovernance during the previous Congress governments in Assam. “Peace is the paramount demand of Assam and even the slightest mistake can push the state back,” he said.
