Union Home Minister Amit Shah highlighted a tribal development roadmap by Prime Minister Modi and Assam Chief Minister Sarma. He stated that a BJP victory will ensure its implementation. Shah assured tribal areas will not be under the Uniform Civi...

Addressing a rally in Dudhnoi in Goalpara district, Shah said that the Congress never made an Adivasi woman the country's President, but Modi changed that and Droupadi Murmu became the nation's first citizen.
"A roadmap has been prepared by the PM and the Assam CM for the development of tribals... Vote for the BJP to ensure it is taken forward and implemented," he said.
Shah also asserted that tribal areas will not come under the ambit of the Uniform Civil Code.
On the recent violence in the adjoining Garo hills of Meghalaya, Shah said that infiltrators sought to capture power in the Garo council by marrying tribal women, and this led to the strife.
"Give us another five years in power in Assam, and we will rid the state of infiltrators and send them back," he said.
The Union home minister said that the BJP restored peace in Assam, but if Congress wins any seat in the April 9 assembly polls, the northeastern state will again witness instability.
