Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party during his visit to Assam’s Darrang, accusing it of aligning with anti-national forces and supporting terrorists backed by Pakistan.
“Instead of standing with our brave soldiers, Congress has chosen to back infiltrators and those who threaten India’s unity. This party has repeatedly provided cover to anti-national forces,” Modi alleged while addressing a large public gathering.
The Prime Minister’s visit was his first to Assam since the conclusion of Operation Sindoor, which he described as a “huge success” and dedicated to Maa Kamakhya and Lord Krishna. “Yesterday was my first visit to Assam after Operation Sindoor. With the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, the operation succeeded. Today, I am experiencing a divine connection by being on this sacred land,” he said.
Linking his speech to the Janmashtami celebrations in Darrang, PM Modi recalled his Independence Day address, where he invoked Lord Krishna’s Sudarshan Chakra as an inspiration for India’s future security architecture. “From the Red Fort, I remembered Chakradhari Mohan. Today, on this holy occasion, I reaffirm our vision of the Sudarshan Chakra for national security,” he said.
During his Independence Day speech, PM Modi announced the Sudarshan Chakra Mission, a decade-long initiative to develop an advanced, Iron Dome-like defence shield domestically. “By 2035, we will expand, modernise, and strengthen this system. It will not only shield us from terrorist attacks but also strike back decisively,” he said, emphasising India’s aim for complete self-reliance in defence technology.
Describing Assam as “the centre of identity and courage,” the Prime Minister praised the region’s resilience and said he was “fortunate to have darshan of the people of this inspiring land.”
In addition to his political address, the PM unveiled several development projects in the state. These included laying the foundation stone for Darrang Medical College and Hospital, a GNM School, and a BSc Nursing College. He also started the Kuruwa-Narengi Bridge over the Brahmaputra, which would increase connectivity and spur socioeconomic progress in the area, and the Guwahati Ring Road Project, which aims to reduce traffic and improve urban mobility.
