&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "'Pakistan connection always weighs heavily': PM Modi accuses Congress of singing to neighbour's tunes")
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Monday (Apr 6) that while the government conducted Operation Sindoor on terror camps in Pakistan, the Congress party continued to align itself with the neighbouring country. In his address during an election rally in Assam's Barpeta district, he also accused the Opposition party of taking a myopic view on development, while asserting that the BJP focuses on long-term growth. “This Pakistan connection always weighs heavily on the country, and we can never allow that,” PM Modi noted.
The prime minister also accused the Congress of adopting a short-term approach to governance.“The party always took short-term measures so that they could indulge in corruption. But the BJP looks far ahead while taking decisions for all-around development of all sections of society,” PM Modi said.He further criticised the opposition for not implementing the One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme for decades. “We have so far disbursed Rs 1.24 lakh-crore to the bank accounts of former Army personnel,” he said.
Addressing an election rally in Assam's Hojai in support of BJP's candidate Shiladitya Dev, PM Modi lauded the NDA government's efforts to maintain electricity supply in the district. Calling Assam a model state in terms of electricity, he noted that the Centre has provided Rs 70,000 to 80,000 under PM Surya Ghar Muft Yojana to install solar panels.While PM Modi tapped into civic issues in Hojai, he also accused the Congress of a "family first" approach.
Expressing confidence in NDA's victory in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, PM Modi said, "Be it Hojai, East or West Karbi Anglong, you have reached here with energy from every region. This mood shows that Assam has decided to secure the biggest win for the BJP-NDA. The development of every region is a priority for the NDA. That is why, in the very beginning, our government declared Hojai as a separate district. However, Congress kept Assam in trouble and deprived it of development. Till Congress was in power here, it only looked after its own selfish interests."
