Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing it of “singing to the tune of Pakistan” while highlighting his government’s actions against terrorism.
Referring to Operation Sindoor, Modi said his government has taken strong action against terror camps in Pakistan, while alleging that the Congress stance weakens national security. He stated that any such connection with Pakistan cannot be tolerated.
On development issues, the Prime Minister accused Congress of having a short-term and narrow approach, claiming it focused on policies that enabled corruption. In contrast, he said the BJP works with a long-term vision aimed at overall development of all sections of society.
Modi also criticised Congress for not implementing the ‘One Rank, One Pension’ scheme for the armed forces, adding that his government ensured justice for soldiers who protect the nation.
Speaking about Assam, he said the state has seen peace and stability over the past decade due to the BJP’s efforts and implementation of various peace accords. He added that this stability has led to significant development and urged voters to continue supporting the BJP to maintain progress.
Addressing women voters, Modi announced that the 33% reservation for women in Parliament would be implemented from the 2029 general elections. He also encouraged women in the state to push for the passage of the related bill.
The Prime Minister was addressing an election rally ahead of the Assam Assembly elections scheduled for April 9, with counting of votes to take place on May 4.
