Assam moved from violence to progress: PM Modi

Assam moved from instability and violence to peace, progress, and prosperity under the “double engine” BJP government over the last 10 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, ahead of the state assembly elections on April 9.

More than a dozen key peace agreements have brought lasting stability in the region, especially in regions like Bodoland, Modi told BJP booth-level workers across Assam in an interaction via the NaMo app.

“Booth jeetoge toh chunav jeetoge (win booth win the election),” he said, emphasising that booth karyakartas’ dedication and connection with every household is BJP’s greatest strength.


He urged them to educate first-time voters about the contrast between Assam’s earlier regimes marked by unrest and the current era of stability. He hailed Assam as the force driving BJP’s growth in the Northeast.

Modi underscored the importance of protecting Assam’s identity and tackling issues like illegal infiltration, calling it an issue of security, culture and justice.

He urged karyakartas to raise awareness at the grassroots and support efforts to ensure the rights and dignity of indigenous communities. He also highlighted the empowerment of tea garden workers through land rights and welfare schemes, calling it a historic step towards dignity and long-term security for lakhs of families.

Modi called for innovative booth-level engagements to emotionally connect with voters while showcasing developmental achievements. He also told party workers to directly reach out to beneficiaries of key welfare schemes such as PM Awas Yojana, PM-Kisan, Ujjwala, and others.

He urged them to turn the polling day into a “jan utsav” (public celebration), with collective participation ensuring maximum voter turnout.

He asked workers to leverage social media platforms and the NaMo app to share real-life stories.

Modi said that Assam’s BJP karyakartas embody the true spirit of the organisation. “When every booth becomes strong, victory becomes certain, and Assam’s future becomes brighter,” he said.
