Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lashed out at Congress in Assam, aiming at Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi by referring to him as a “Rajkumar” and predicting continued electoral setbacks for the grand old party. He also expressed confidence that the BJP-led NDA would secure a "hattrick" victory in the state, citing the leadership of Sarbanand Sonowal and incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Speaking at a public rally in Gogamukh, the Prime Minister adopted an aggressive tone, indirectly targeting Rahul Gandhi with a remark calling him a “self-styled prince.” "This is my first public meeting after the announcement of the Assam elections. This ocean of people in front of me, the enthusiasm of the youth, the blessings of the sisters and daughters, this love is an open declaration that this time a hat-trick is certain," PM Modi said.
PM Modi highlights BJP's electoral track record & performance
Reaffirming his optimism, Modi highlighted both his own electoral track record and the party’s performance in Assam. "With the blessings of all of you, I received the opportunity to achieve a hat-trick as Prime Minister. With your blessings, I also received the opportunity to hit a hat-trick on this ground. I have come here for the third time. And with your blessings, the government in Assam is also going to achieve a hat-trick," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
He credited the governance of Assam over the past 10 years to former chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and incumbent CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, and asserted that the state had entered a new phase of development and stability.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi further noted, "First under the leadership of Sarbananda Sonowal and then under the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam has witnessed a new era of service and good governance in the past 10 years. These Assam elections are the election to build a developed Assam for a developed India. This time, the BJP-NDA government is set to complete a hat-trick. And the Congress is also set to face a hat-trick of defeats... The self-proclaimed prince of Congress is set to score a century of defeats."
