Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday claimed the Congress had created divisions between Assamese and Bengalis, plain and hill dwellers, Upper and Lower Assam, while the BJP had “united Assam through development.”
“Congress follows the policy of divide and rule, while with the BJP’s policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas’ has brought development for the smaller tribes and communities,” said Shah, speaking at a rally in Jonai in Assam’s Dhemaji district on Monday.
He later addressed rallies in Udalguri and Majuli, which is CM Sarbananda Sonowal’s constituency. While Jonai and Majuli will vote on March 27, Udalguri — which falls under the Bodo Territorial Region — will vote on April 1.
