"During the decades' long rule, the previous Congress government had constructed three bridges, but during the five year rule, the BJP government has built six big bridges," the Prime Minister added.

To make the Assam an "Aatmanirbhar" state, the Prime Minister said that with multipurpose facilities a 150-km industrial corridor is being developed near Guwahati and several developmental parks would be set up in this under develop corridor.

Terming Congress led 10-party alliance as "mahajhut" (grand lie), Modi said that Congress means instability, betrayal, cheating with poor and tea garden workers, patronising those forces who are backing the infiltrators and terrorism.

"The Congrees to loot the state keen to coming to power in Assam but BJP willing to serve the state. With the 'One Nation - One Ration Card' scheme across the country to check corruptions, the NDA government has been giving big support to the poor and middle class people.

The Congressmen are even eaten the poor men's rations and the digital ration card system would check these menaces," the Prime Minister claimed.
