PM Modi also alleged that the Congress neglected India’s Northeast, allowing the Barak Valley access to the sea while delineating borders during independence and partition.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that a “war-like situation" has emerged, assuring that his government is effectively handling it. He also alleged that Congress was acting “irresponsibly" by trying to create panic in the country.

“A war-like situation has arisen, and our government is handling it, but the Congress is making every effort to create panic in the country," PM Modi said at a rally in Assam’s Silcahar.

The Prime Minister also alleged that the Congress neglected India’s Northeast, allowing the Barak Valley access to the sea while delineating borders during independence and partition.

“They do not have any vision either for Assam or the nation but only know how to abuse Modi, spread rumours and lies to mislead people," he claimed.

Highlighting regional development, the Prime Minister said both Assam and the Barak Valley are making steady progress. He described the Barak Valley as a region rich in language, literature, and culture, and said it is poised to emerge as a new hub of growth.

“Just as Congress left the North-East on its own, in a similar way, it played a major role in weakening Barak Valley. When India became Independent, Congress allowed a border to be drawn that cut off Barak Valley’s access to the sea," he alleged.

“Barak Valley, which was once known as an industrial centre, was stripped of its very strength. For decades after Independence, Congress governments remained in power, yet the region saw little development. Today, the BJP government is working to change that," he added.

PM Modi further accused the Congress of misleading the youth of Assam into violence and terrorism, claiming that the BJP has worked to transform the state into “an ocean of opportunities" for them.

“Where Congress stops thinking, we start working," he said, adding that the BJP’s focus is on giving priority to those left behind in development.

The Prime Minister also inaugurated projects worth Rs 23,550 crore in Silchar, marking the final leg of his two-day tour of Assam ahead of the assembly elections.
