Darrang: Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of supporting anti-national forces and terrorists in an address at Darrang in Assam on Sunday. This is the PM’s first visit to the state after Operation Sindoor.
“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 told a large gathering.
Calling Operation Sindoor a “huge success”, Modi dedicated it 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.
He also linked the Janmashtami celebrations in Darrang to his Independence Day speech in which 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,” the PM said.
Modi, in his Independence Day speech, had announced the Sudarshan Chakra Mission, a decade-long plan to develop a state-of-the-art, Iron Dome-like defence shield indigenously.
“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.
He called Assam “the centre of identity and courage,” and praised the resilience of the region, saying that he was “fortunate to have darshan of the people of this inspiring land.”
The Prime Minister also unveiled a series of development projects ahead of Assembly elections in the state.
Modi laid the foundation stone for Darrang Medical College and Hospital, a GNM School, and a BSc Nursing College. The foundation stones for the Guwahati Ring Road Project and Kuruwa-Narengi Bridge over the Brahmaputra, to enhance connectivity and spur socio-economic growth in the region, were also laid.
