Dergaon, Assam: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday accused the Congress of failing to establish peace in Assam, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership has brought stability, infrastructure development, and employment opportunities to the state.
Shah made these remarks while inaugurating the revamped Lachit Barphukan Police Academy in Dergaon.
"Over 10,000 Youths Have Laid Down Arms" – Amit Shah
Shah credited Modi’s government for bringing peace to Assam, claiming that over 10,000 youths who were previously involved in armed movements have surrendered and joined the mainstream in the last decade.
He said Assam has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from a conflict-ridden past to a more stable future.
Massive Investment Plans for Assam
Shah announced major infrastructure investments aimed at boosting Assam’s economy and development:
₹3 lakh crore will be invested in new infrastructure projects.
₹5 lakh crore investment has been proposed in the recent Assam Business Summit.
“The Narendra Modi-led government is committed to Assam’s development and ensuring job opportunities for the youth,” Shah said.
Police Reforms: From Anti-Terror Operations to Public Safety
Shah highlighted the significant improvement in policing in Assam:
Earlier, policing was focused on fighting terrorism.
Now, the police force is people-centric, ensuring better law enforcement.
Conviction rates have increased from 5% to 25% in the last three years and will soon cross the national average.
Lachit Barphukan Police Academy to Become India’s Top Police Training Centre
Shah assured that the Lachit Barphukan Police Academy will be transformed into India’s top police training institution in the next five years.
The academy will receive a total investment of ₹1,050 crore, to be implemented in phases.
Assam’s Path to Peace and Progress
With peace returning to Assam, the focus has now shifted to economic growth, employment, and modern policing. Shah’s remarks highlight the BJP’s vision for a developed and stable Assam, contrasting it with Congress’s past governance failures.
What’s Next?
As Assam moves toward the 2026 Assembly Elections, these investment plans and development initiatives will play a key role in shaping the political and economic landscape of the state. ????
