During a rally in Assam, Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, asserted that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is the only political force capable of protecting Assam from infiltration and preserving its cultural integrity. He criticized the Congress and the All-India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) for allegedly attempting to distort the state's demographics and culture. Adityanath emphasized that the NDA's governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi would ensure the removal of infiltrators and maintain the state's demographic balance. He also praised Assam's cultural and spiritual heritage, noting its significance in fostering national unity. The Chief Minister pointed out that the Congress had been in power for 60 years but failed to protect local culture, instead encouraging violence and unrest. He highlighted the NDA's commitment to development and heritage preservation, mentioning projects like the Maa Kamakhya Corridor. The rally was held in support of Deepak Kumar Das, the NDA candidate for the Barpeta assembly constituency, as Assam prepares for elections on April 9, 2024.
