Guwahati: Senior BJP leader and candidate for Dibrugarh Lok Sabha constituency Sarbananda Sonowal, on Thursday, slammed the “Congress-controlled” Opposition in Assam during election meetings in Upper Assam.
“The deep corruption nurtured by inefficient and corrupt Congress governments has denied people their rights for far too long. The people of Assam are no different. Assam lost so many lives due to the corrupt, inefficient and indecisive governments. It is sad to see how the opposition is colliding with Congress, who are known for its dark forces of corruption, violence, disharmony and indifference that wreaked havoc among the people of Assam for many decades,” Sonowal said while addressing meetings in Chabua, Lahowal and Duliajan constituencies under Dibrugarh parliamentary constituency.
Notably, the seasoned politician had kicked off his campaign from his native constituency on Monday, ahead of the parliamentary elections in the state. He had arrived in Dibrugarh to a rousing welcome, taking part in a roadshow as he moved from the airport to the Mancotta field where he addressed a rally.
“Sad to witness how the opposition is controlled by Congress. For everything, we had to march on the street, raise slogans and make protests. But all these changed with Modi ji as the Prime Minister of the country. There has been no other Prime Minister who has visited the Northeast more than 60 times in the last 10 years. This shows how Modi ji has put the onus of growth and development of the region and why Modiji terms the region as the powerhouse of India’s economic growth,” he said.
Sonowal expressed his gratitude to the people for their energetic support for the third consecutive term of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister.
“The mood and expectations of the people have been guaranteed by the welfare delivery of the Narendra Modi government. The kind of response seen at the meetings shows huge support for the BJP,” he said.
The senior BJP leader further said that holistic development and self-reliance were the new identities of India under Narendra Modi.
“With Modi ji’s commitment and focussed approach to the resurgence of the Northeast, a new horizon of development has opened up an avenue of opportunities for the people, especially the youth and the women of the region. The future of Assam is secure with the ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’. The welfare delivery mechanism has been overhauled in the last decade under Modi ji which has helped the fruits of government welfare schemes to reach the ultimate beneficiaries,” Sonowal said.
Adding further, Sonowal said, “As part of the NDA, the AGP, the Samyukta Gana Shakti, and the UPPL will work together in the interest of building a new Assam and India. We aim to strengthen Assam and strengthen India under the dynamic leadership of the Prime Minister.”
“The welfare schemes of the Modi government have helped the people of Assam and the country to live with dignity. The quality of life has improved with social security, and enriched the rights of people with dedication and honesty in creating this democratic atmosphere,” he claimed.

“In the contrary, Congress failed India for more than six decades. They could not deliver on schemes for minimum welfare facilities for the people,” he said.
“We have defeated this twice, and we have to keep defeating this regressive brand of politics by Congress again. I call upon all the voters to rally their support in favour of BJP with Narendra Modi ji as the Prime Minister of India,” he appealed.
