Speaking on the occasion Amit Shah said, “Assam that was known for agitations, weapons & violence is now known for development, industrial investment, education & tourism. But this journey is incomplete. It’s the first stop in new era of development started by CM & Himanta Biswa Sarma under the leadership of PM Modi.”
“We have to make Assam flood-free, infiltrator-free and violence-free. We have to make Assam and the entire northeast the biggest GDP contributor of the country,” he said in Nagaon.
