PM Modi to Launch Massive Election Blitz in Assam Today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address three back-to-back mega rallies in Assam today, April 6, marking the peak of the BJP’s campaign for the 2026 Assembly elections. The Prime Minister’s visit comes at a time when the state is witnessing intense political maneuvering over the issues of regional identity and development. According to party sources, the rallies in Upper Assam will focus on the “double-engine growth” model and the successful implementation of central welfare schemes.
Security has been tightened across the state, with additional paramilitary forces deployed in the rally venues. The Prime Minister is also expected to touch upon the security situation in the Northeast and the government’s stance on the escalating West Asia conflict, which has affected several Assamese expatriates working in the Gulf. This blitz is seen as a crucial move to consolidate the BJP’s stronghold in the region before the first phase of polling begins.
