Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said that all infiltrators will be sent back if the BJP comes to power in West Bengal. Addressing an election rally in Assam’s Patharkandi, Mr Shah alleged that Congress gave shelters to infiltrators in Assam’s Barak Valley. He accused that Congress neglected Assam’s Barak Valley and did nothing for its development.

 

He said the BJP’s vision for Assam is to transform the state and bring it at par with other developed regions of the country. He said that Assam would reach new heights of development in the coming five years. He listed out initiatives undertaken by the BJP government, including the distribution of land patta to eligible beneficiaries and the construction of a medical college in Sribhumi. He added that several more development projects have been planned for the state. Mr Shah assured that Silchar would be developed so that people would not have to depend on Guwahati for essential services.
