GUWAHATI (Feb 15, 2026) — Prime Minister Narendra Modi kickstarted the BJP’s election campaign in Assam with a sharp ideological critique, accusing the Congress of adopting “Maoist and Muslim League” philosophies.
Speaking at a massive rally in Guwahati on Saturday, the PM warned that a Congress victory would risk handing the state back to “infiltrators” and end decades of hard-won stability.
Security and Infrastructure Firsts
The Prime Minister’s visit began with a historic landing at the northeast’s first Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on a National Highway in Moran.
-
Aviation Milestone: He highlighted that Assam’s roads have evolved from “broken paths” to highways capable of landing fighter jets.
-
Development vs. Insurgency: Modi contrasted the BJP’s “fast-track development” with the Congress’s legacy of “conflict and insurgency,” promising that Assam-made semiconductor chips would soon rival the fame of Assam tea.
Electoral Strategy
With Assembly elections scheduled for later this year, the PM focused on two key pillars:
-
Anti-Appeasement: He accused the Congress of prioritizing “votebank politics” over national integrity.
-
Stability: He urged voters to grant the BJP another term to ensure the state remains on a path of peace and employment.
Modi concluded by describing the party’s grassroots karyakartas as the “oxygen of the BJP,” expressing confidence in a landslide victory that would surpass their previous mandate.
