Salient points of speech of Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Senior BJP leader Shri Amit Shah while addressing public Meetings in Margherita & Nazira (Assam)
In Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will register a thumping victory again and with more seats than the last elections. It is clear that Assam will again have a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by the BJP.
Every vote given by the people of Assam to the Congress party will go to Badruddin Ajmal and the AIUDF and every vote given to Badruddin Ajmal will result in more illegal immigration in Assam.
The people of Assam want peace and not violence, jobs not guns. The state wants youth who are progressive as well as development oriented and not terrorism and above all, they want the engine of growth chugging through the state, not the scourge of illegal immigration. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Assam is on the path to become a developed state.
In the last assembly election in Assam, we had promised the people to rid the state of terrorism and the politics of agitation. Today, Assam does not have terrorism and unnecessary agitations. Today the state is moving towards peace and prosperity. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has always kept its promise.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government got rid of intruders from Kaziranga. The Congress government in the state was not interested in dealing with these intruders as it saw its vote bank in these intruders. The BJP does not indulge in vote bank politics.
We promise to create a state that is free from the troubles posed by the floods. We have conducted a survey of Assam and the entire North East through satellites. We have also prepared a road map on how the flood waters are collected in large ponds and tanks.
The Congress party can stoop to any limit to win elections. In Kerala, it has partnered with the Muslim League, which is known for breakig the country. In Assam, Congress has formed an alliance with Badruddin Ajmal, while in West Bengal it has joined hands with Abbas Siddiqui of Furfura Sharif.
The BJP has worked towards connecting Lower and Upper Assam. BJP believes in connecting people, while on the other hand, the Congress indulges in creating divisions. Our government worked towards connecting Assam with development, employment, industry and tourism instead of bomb blasts, intrusions and agitations.
Rahul Gandhiji, we do not want your method of creating divisions in the society. We are moving ahead under the leadership of Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi with the motto of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas. Based on this, we went ahead enhancing the development potential of Assam.
Under the 13th Finance Commission under the Congress party’s UPA government, Assam got only Rs 80,000 crore as central grant. Whereas, under the 14th Finance Commission under the Narendra Modi government, Assam has been allocated Rs 1,55,300 crore.
In the last five years, under the leadership of Shri Sarbananda Sonowal and Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma, The BJ has given Assam a corruption free and transparent government.
Our government under the wage compensation scheme for tea gardens have started giving work to pregnant women worth Rs 12,000. More than 47,000 pregnant women benefited from this scheme. Now this assistance has been enhanced to Rs 18,000.
The BJP government in Assam has deployed 130 mobile medical units to provide health services in 445 tea gardens. Today more than 40 lakh tea garden labourers are benefitting from this.
Around 64,600 families have got cheap food grains. Self help groups got financial assistance of Rs 25,000. To create entrepreneurs, an allocation of Rs 40,000 crore has been made for the youth. Six new medical colleges were opened in the state.
Recently, Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi came with a scheme of Rs 3,000 crore for Tinsukia, under which schools are being constructed in tea gardens as well as dwelling units and good hospitals are also being set up for the people.
The Congress government took more than 30 years to build the second bridge on river Brahmaputra after construction of the first bridge. But Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and his government has constructed six new bridges over the river Brahmaputra in the past five years.
For the development of crude oil exploration in Assam the Narendra Modi government has so far invested over Rs 46,000 crore in the state. New airport is being constructed in Guwahati. The National Institute of Design is being established in Jorhat. A massive food park is also coming up in Assam. Assam is also getting royalty worth Rs 8,000 crores for gas which is speeding up development in the state.
In Jogidopa, a multimodal logistics park is being constructed. The Gogamukh Indian Agriculture Research Institute is being built. Recently in Shivasagar district in Jerenga Pothar Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji distributed papers for land ownership to over 1 lakh people thus giving them land and empowering them.
The people of Assam have not forgotten how the then Congress government brutally killed several youths who were protesting for their rights by asking police to open fire on them. Now these same people who were once protesting against the Congress rule are now trying to help the Congress by contesting assembly elections in the state just to cut votes. But the people of Assam will surely teach them a good lesson.
The Congress led United Progressive Alliance ( UPA) Government was headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for 10 years. Manmohan Singh represented Assam in Parliament but he never considered giving Bharat Ratna to Shri Bhupen Hazarika ji. It is our Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji who gave Bharat Ratna to most revered Honourable Shri Bhupen Hazarika ji.
Under the leadership of our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, we have to work towards bringing the last man in the society into the mainstream. Working with the motto of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas, today India is scripting new success stories of development everyday.
