Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday (April 3, 2026) highlighted UP’s model of dealing with “rioters”, asserting that only the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has the ability to rid Assam of “infiltrators” and prevent any demographic change.
Addressing an election rally for Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) candidate Dipak Kumar Das in western Assam’s Barpeta, a Muslim-dominated district, drew similarities between “rioters” in his home state and “infiltrators” in Assam.
“There are no riots, no curfew and everything is fine in Uttar Pradesh. No one can offer namaz on the streets and there is no shouting from any place of worship. If anyone dares to cause trouble, their property is confiscated and distributed among the poor and Dalits,” he said, insisting that rioters and infiltrators have no rights.
Mr. Adityanath accused the Congress of playing with the culture of Assam and trying to change the demography of the state. He said decades of Congress rule had weakened the internal security and social fabric of the state.
“Congress has only encouraged infiltration, violence and riots, threatening local culture and heritage… They have tried to deprive you of your rights, take away your land and resources,” he said.
Mr. Adityanath also criticized the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), accusing the party of seeking power with the support of infiltrators. He claimed that the Congress and the AUIDF were working together in ways that could “endanger the culture and heritage of the state”.
Asserting that the BJP-led NDA would guarantee stability, he said it would ensure law and order while cracking down on illegal entrants. “Every infiltrator will be identified and kicked out of Assam,” he said, stressing the BJP’s resolve to stop “love jihad” and “land jihad”.
The Chief Minister also said that the NDA is committed to development while taking care of the heritage.
Elections to the 126-member Assam Assembly are scheduled for April 9. Census is May 4.
