Assam den of Bangladeshi infiltrators during 55 year of Congress rule: Amit Shah

GUWAHATI: BJP National president Amit Shah on Friday said that Assam has become a den for Bangladeshi infiltrators during 55 year of Congress rule and it is time for entire Assam to get united and vote for BJP to make the state free from Bangladeshi infiltrators.

Shah who addressing election rally in Sibsagar and Sonari in Upper Assam said that the election results will decide whether Assam shifts to path of development or continues to slip and remain backward as has happened during 15 year rule of Tarun Gogoi

He said, “I can guarantee development in Assam if the state elects BJP under Sarbananda Sonowal. We will put the state on the path of growth and prosperity. BJP already has a firm track record for development in several states. States like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh have re-elected BJP again and again on the basis of the party’s ability to deliver on development.”

The BJP president added that Assam has given chance to Congress for 55 years. “The state’s voters must give one chance to BJP to govern for 5 years and I can assure that you will re-elect BJP after 5 years.One crore people in Assam are living below the poverty line.”

Launching a broadside on Chief minister Gogoi he said if a survey is conducted across the country, the Tarun Gogoi government will be voted as the most corrupt in the country. “Thousands of crores of funds, which were meant for the state’s poor, have disappeared. The tea estate workers do not have access to even primary education and suffer from various health issues. The tea estate workers must vote for BJP if they want to get rid of all these problems,” Shah said.

He added that the government in Assam should not be at loggerheads with centre but take centre’s cooperation for growth and prosperity.
