Guwahati, Mar 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the sounds of bombs and gunfire are now a thing of the past in the Northeast, claiming that the BJP has ensured lasting peace in the region, while the Congress signed various accords for “selfish interests.”
Addressing a public meeting in Assam’s Kokrajhar district virtually from Guwahati after his travel was disrupted by rain, Modi said the state is now writing a new chapter of peace and development under the “double-engine” government.
He alleged that the Congress endangered national security by handing over land of indigenous people to infiltrators.
“Punish Congress in the upcoming elections and send a clear message that there is no place for infiltrators in this country,” he added. (Agencies)
