Addressing a rally after inaugurating a new terminal of the Guwahati airport, Modi alleged that the development of Assam and the Northeast was “never a part” of the Congress agenda. 

"The Congress gave protection to infiltrators who grabbed forests and land, threatening the security and identity of Assam... The BJP government has been correcting mistakes the Congress kept making for decades in the northeast," the PM asserted.

Modi said the Election Commission started the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to ensure infiltrators are kept out of the poll process, "but 'deshdrohis' (traitors) were trying to protect them".

"My attachment to the land of Assam inspires me, gives me strength for development of region. Assam and the entire Northeast is becoming the gateway to India's development. Every state, each region of the country has an important role to play in the mission of a developed India," Modi said. 

The Prime Minister also pointed out that in the six decades following Independence, only three bridges were built over the Brahmaputra, whereas four new bridges have been constructed in the last decade alone. 

This enhanced connectivity, he said, “has emerged as a major catalyst for economic growth, mobility and regional integration in Assam”. 

After the address, the Prime Minister began a massive roadshow from outside Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex in Sarusajai on National Highway 27. Cultural troupes of nearly all communities of the state performed along the route as thousands gathered along the 3.8-km route to have a glimpse of the PM Modi.
