Vote for BJP for making Assam free from insurgency, intruders & floods: Amit Shah

Jan. 24: Union Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a rally in Assam’s Kokrajhar on Sunday promised to make the state “violence-free”, “infiltrator-free”, and “flood-free”. He urged upon the people of Assam to give 5 more years to BJP in the state. Assam will go for the Assembly polls in March-April. Targeting Congress for lack of development in the state, Shah said, “The Congress party stained Assam in blood for years and instigated different movements in the state.”

Amit Shah is in Assam as part of a two-day visit to the region. He spoke a day after PM Modi himself visited Assam’s Sivasagar district to attend a ceremony where he handed over more than one lakh land titles to members of the state’s indigenous communities. Like the Prime Minister, Mr Shah, too, refrained from saying anything about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
