government’s rule, violence and extremism were rampant, but in the previous
nine years, there has been a decrease of 67 percent in the incidents of
violence, 60 percent in the death of security forces, and 83 percent in the
death of civilians.
“Under the leadership of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, Assam is moving forward on the path of development and
peace. Earlier, there was chaos and absence of any system in Assam but now, the
work of putting proper systems in place was earlier being done by Sarbananda
Sonowal and now the same being continued by Himanta Biswa Sarma,” Shah said at
a function in Guwahati.

recently the youth of Assam created a world record for the traditional Bihu
dance,” Shah said adding that the ‘double-engine’ government of BJP at the
state and Centre is making Assam the medical capital of the northeast.

position has improved, and the state’s GSDP has increased from Rs 4
lakh crore in 2021-22 to Rs 5.50 lakh crore in 2023-24.

state, investment is coming under the industrial policy and Assam is on the
path of development. The Centre is making every effort to make
