|September 15, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday laid the foundation stones for multiple infrastructure projects in Assam, including the Guwahati Ring Road, a Brahmaputra bridge, and a medical college in Darrang, while accusing the Congress of ignoring the sentiments of the Assamese people during its time in power.
Addressing a public meeting in Mangaldai of Assam's Darrang district on Sunday, Modi accused the Congress of allowing illegal immigration and enabling encroachment of land belonging to locals when the party was in power. He also criticised the party leadership for questioning the Centre's move to confer the Bharat Ratna on Assam's legendary singer Bhupen Hazarika in January 2019.
