Taking a swipe at the Congress, he alleged that previous Congress governments kept Bodoland disconnected from the mainstream and encouraged infiltration for vote-bank politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a time when killings were a regular occurrence in the state; today, the state is filled with the colours of its culture and traditions. Congress ensured Assam\u2019s Bodoland remained disconnected from mainstream and it opened doors for infiltrators as they formed its vote bank,” he said.<\/p>\n

Referring to the state\u2019s transformation, the Prime Minister said the sounds of gunshots that once echoed in Assam have been replaced by the sound of musical instruments. He noted that the Bodo Peace Accord ended years of unrest and opened new avenues for education and development, bringing Bodoland into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his participation in the \u2018Bagurumba Dwhou 2026\u2019, PM Modi held a grand roadshow at the Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accompanied the Prime Minister during the roadshow, where thousands of supporters welcomed PM Modi with resounding sloganeering.<\/p>\n
