Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed election rallies in Barpeta, Hojai, and Dibrugarh, Assam, on April 6, 2026, urging voters to keep the Congress party away from power to ensure ongoing peace and development. He criticized Congress for its historical neglect of tribal families, claiming that under its rule, these communities faced high poverty rates and violence. Modi attributed the insurgency affecting areas inhabited by the Bodos to Congress's political corruption, asserting that the party's peace agreements have failed to materialize. He praised the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for signing genuine peace deals and focusing on the development of tribal regions. Modi also highlighted the BJP's commitment to women's empowerment, noting that women have benefited significantly from government schemes, including the Orunodoi scheme, which provides ₹1,250 (approximately $15 USD) monthly to economically disadvantaged women. He called for greater female representation in state assemblies and parliament, linking this to the upcoming discussion on a 33% reservation for women. Additionally, Modi criticized Congress for its alleged connections to Pakistan, suggesting that the party's past actions have compromised national security.
