After a historic landing on Assam’s highway-cum-runway, Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress, accusing it of pushing the state into violence and neglecting security. He said past policies had weakened Assam while the NDA restored peace, connectivity and infrastructure. The Prime Minister highlighted defence preparedness, rapid mobility for the armed forces and development projects in the Northeast. The dramatic fighter-jet capable highway landing underscored strategic readiness as Modi linked national security with governance failures of previous regimes. His remarks have intensified the political battle ahead of elections, with Congress rejecting the charges and calling them diversionary politics.
