SIR meant to keep infiltrators out, Congress protected them for decades: Modi in Assam

The Prime Minister further linked the Congress era with prolonged violence in the Northeast, stating that keeping the region away from development had come at a heavy cost to the country’s unity, security and integrity. He said that while violence flourished for decades under previous governments, the situation had begun to change over the past 10–11 years. Districts that were once considered violence-affected, he said, were now progressing as aspirational districts.Highlighting the BJP’s governance model, Modi said development under the party’s “double-engine government” was flowing uninterrupted in Assam, drawing a comparison with the mighty Brahmaputra.Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new Terminal 2 building of the Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport in Guwahati and toured the facility. He was accompanied by Himanta Biswa Sarma.The newly inaugurated terminal has been designed to handle around 13.1 million passengers annually and has been built at a cost of approximately Rs 4,000 crore.
