Himanta Biswa Sarma blows BJP trumpet in Silchar ahead of Modi speech

Guwahati, January 4, 2019:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi blew his poll bugle at a rally attended by a sea of supporters at Kalinagar in Silchar area. He was accompanied by BJP top brass Himanta Biswa Sarma (NEDA Chief), Sarbananda Sonowal (Assam Chief Minister) and Ranjeet Kumar Dass (Assam state BJP President).

NEDA Convenor and Assam Minister for PWD, Health and Finance took the stage ahead of the Prime Minister’s speech. In a rousing speech witnessed by the thousands of people at the venue packed to the rafters, Sarma enumerated the achievements of the BJP while also throwing shade at Rahul Gandhi and the Congress at their ruckus over the ‘Rafale Deal’.

Taking a dig at the Congress party, Biswa Sarma said “India is still going through hard times because Congress Party is still in the Parliament and the Congress party does not want our defence personnel to have access to hi-tech Rafale fighter jets because once we have access to Rafale jets, we will be able to crush Pakistan. Rahul does not want us to have Rafale jets and wants us to stay beneath Pakistan. But the Prime Minister wants India to have Rafale jets, our air forces to have devastatingly powerful weapons and India to become the number one superpower.”

Biswa Sarma, commenting on the contentious Citizenship (Amendment Bill), 2016, said: “The Congress does not want Hindus, Jains and Christians from Pakistan and Bangladesh to stay in India. They want Jinnah here, but they don’t want Bengali-Hindus here. We will keep Hindus as well as Assamese culture, traditions and customs in Assam.” He also said that the Prime Minister has blessed us infrastructural boons such as the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge in Tinsukia, the Bogibeel Bridge in Dibrugarh, and the Rajdhani Express in Barak Valley.

Biswa Sarma stated that the prime objective of the rally is to ensure a second term for the Indian Prime Minister and encouraged the people of Barak Valley to gift both the Lok Sabha seats of Cachar and Karimganj to Modi’s BJP. Biswa Sarma also added that the goal of the government is to transform Assam into one of the five most developed states in the nation.
