Guwahati, February 26(PTI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asserted that his party will protect the culture, history and language of the northeast, if voted to power.

Kicking off the poll campaign in Assam, Rahul Gandhi attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of "burning" every state in the region.

"The BJP-RSS ideology is burning every state in the northeast. They are attacking your lifestyle, culture, language and history..," he said.

Gandhi exuded confidence that the Congress will come to power at the Centre and work towards protecting the identity of the region.

He also promised to restore 'special status' to Assam and bring back the North East Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy (NEIIPP).

"BJP snatched away the rights of the people of the northeast. We'll do everything to restore them," he asserted.

Expressing grief over the recent hooch tragedy in Assam's tea belt, the Congress chief said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi made big announcements for tea gardens, but did nothing. We will guarantee minimum wage to every estate worker."

    He knows northeast will not vote for him because It took 70 long years to get proper connectivity through road, rail and air to northeast.

    I'm sure our military is capable of first part, just give them a free and and let them decide when and how, like they did today. As for the second part, it's purely politicians' job.

    Congress leadership is what Paki is waiting for. Ideally what pak wants is a muslim appeasing and a Pak loving Govt where , Kashmir border is totally ignored similar to what happened in the barmaids regime,
