During his first election rally in Barpeta, Assam, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted that prayers are no longer held on roads in Uttar Pradesh, reflecting a sense of order in the state. He declared that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is committed to ensuring Assam remains free from what he termed 'love jihad' and 'land jihad,' while attacking the Congress and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) for alleged infiltration issues. Adityanath claimed that the Congress and AIUDF have harmed Assam's culture by settling infiltrators and allowing them to control resources. He praised the NDA's efforts to protect cultural heritage and mentioned ongoing projects like the Maa Kamakhya Corridor. He also referenced the historical contributions of figures like Srimanta Sankardeva and the bravery of Lachit Borphukan, reinforcing the importance of Assam's identity. The Assam Assembly elections are scheduled for April 9, with votes counted on May 4.
