Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi used a statewide virtual session to tell BJP booth workers to track illegal encroachment and show voters how infiltrators affect local jobs and land.
- The BJP’s Assam unit said more than 500,000 party workers joined the outreach across over 4,500 Shakti Kendras, with Modi also taking questions from select local organizers.
- Modi said illegal immigration is not an election slogan and called it a matter of Assam’s identity and national security that reaches into daily life and safety.
- Assam officials pointed to eviction drives that cleared about 49,500 acres of government and forest land and promised to seek another 165,000 acres if the party keeps power.
- Opposition leaders accused the BJP of turning infiltration into an election theme and pressed for official counts and stronger border actions as they raised jobs and inflation.
