Union Home Minister Amit Shah, speaking in Assam, vowed to remove all "infiltrators" from the country, citing the redevelopment of the Batadrava Than as an example of the BJP's resolve. He accused the Congress of encouraging infiltration for vote bank politics and failing to address the issue. Shah praised the Assam government for eviction drives and urged voters to give the BJP another five years to make Assam "infiltrator-free" and ensure its security and cultural identity.
