Union Home Minister Amit Shah on October 8, 2022 asserted that Assam and the Northeastern region marched ahead in the path of peace and development during the last eight years of BJP rule under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Seventy years of Congress since independence had pushed the northeast to violence and anarchy while during the last eight years, Mr. Modi's leadership helped the region join with the mainstream, Mr. Shah claimed after inaugurating the new party office here.
The BJP government has established peace in Assam with 9,000 people laying down arms, he said.
