Congress always thrived on internal conflicts, says Amit Shah

BIJNI: Taking a jibe at the Congress, Union Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing an election rally at Chirang stated that the Congress has always thrived on internal conflicts of Assam, whereas, the BJP has worked to establish peace.

The minister who is campaigning for the third phase of the Assam Assembly Elections slated on April 6, will be addressing three rallies. After completing his first rally in Chirang, Shah will then move to Hajo before his final rally in Dispur.

While stating that "Congress has always created infighting with their divide and rule policy", Shah said that after the BJP came to power in alliance with the AGP, it has ushered in an era of peace realising a 'Terrorism Free Assam'

While talking about the Bodo Accord, the Home Minister said the party has established peace in Assam after entering into the Bodoland Agreement.

He further stated that "Aayogs have been made to deliver on the promises as well, such as increasing BTC seats. We've provided Rs 4 lakh each for rehabilitation of youth that gave up arms. Bodo language has also been given a statehood & we've also provided a package of Rs 750 crore."

Shah also said that the BJP government in Assam has fulfilled its promises of giving terrorism-free, protest-free and developed Assam. He urged voters to bless the BJP government to further make the state a symbol of development. He said that only the BJP government can make Assam infiltration-free.

While praising both the State and Central government the Home Minister stated, "We have done the work of taking Assam on the path of development through the double engine government."

He further asserted that in the last five years, there have been no insurgencies in Assam. "Congress had shot on the youth of Assam during insurgencies in the past. The same Congress today is walking with Badruddin Ajmal. Does the party that killed Assam's youth has any right to ask for votes in Assam?" Shah said.

Regarding the grand alliance or the 'Mahajoot' between Congress and AIUDF, Shah questioned, "Can the party which allies with Badruddin Ajmal stop illegal infiltration? He further sought five more years to make illegal infiltration a thing of the past in the state.
