During an election rally in Barpeta, a district in Assam, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlighted the U.P. model for managing riots, asserting its effectiveness in maintaining law and order. He claimed that only the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), can protect Assam from 'infiltrators' and prevent demographic changes. Adityanath criticized the Congress party for its history of governance, alleging that it has weakened Assam's internal security and cultural integrity. He accused Congress of encouraging infiltration and violence, which he believes threaten local heritage. Additionally, he targeted the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), suggesting that it seeks power through the support of infiltrators. Adityanath assured voters that the NDA would ensure stability and development while safeguarding Assam's culture. The elections for the 126-member Assam Assembly are set for April 9, 2026, with results to be announced on May 4.
