He also said that under the present BJP government, no clash in the name of caste, creed and ethnicity had been reported from any part, as all sections of the people were coordinating with the efforts of the government in making the State progressive and prosperous.

Attributing the present improved law-and-order condition in the State to the professionalism and dedication of Assam Police, Chief Minister Sonowal said that with the help of the sound law-and-order condition prevailing in the State and the existing peace and harmony and all the developmental schemes, the State Government was in the process of transforming Assam into one of the five most developed States of the country.
