Congress kept borders open for infiltrators, says Shah in Assam

During a recent rally in Assam, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress party of neglecting border security, which he claims has led to unchecked infiltration into the region. Shah emphasized that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is elected, they will take decisive measures to address these border issues and secure the region. He highlighted the government's commitment to enhancing infrastructure and development in border areas through initiatives like the Vibrant Villages Programme. This program aims to bolster the living standards of residents in border villages while simultaneously addressing security concerns. Shah's remarks come amid ongoing debates over national security and immigration, underscoring the BJP's focus on border integrity as a key electoral issue in Assam and other northeastern states. The BJP is positioning itself as the party that prioritizes the protection of Indian borders and addresses the challenges posed by infiltration, contrasting its approach with that of the Congress party, which it claims has failed in this regard. Shah's statements are part of a broader campaign strategy to rally support in a region that has historically been sensitive to issues of security and immigration.
