Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at a Bodo folk dance event in Assam, accused the Congress party of disrespecting Assam's culture and heritage by allegedly facilitating infiltration and neglecting dialogue, which he said led to violence and instability. He credited the BJP-led government, including Assam's Himanta Biswa Sarma administration, with addressing these issues by clearing encroached land and promoting development. Modi highlighted the 2020 Bodo peace accord as a key factor in restoring peace and emphasized his frequent visits and respect for the state's culture.
