Kaliabar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday sounded the poll bugle in Assam, attacking the Congress party and asserting that the country has consistently rejected its “negative politics” due to its failure to present a clear development agenda.
Mentioning the BJP’s recent electoral victories in Bihar and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Modi said that the BJP has become the first choice of the people of the country.
“The trust of the people on BJP has been on the rise continuously for the last one and a half years. In Bihar, people have given us a record mandate by giving a record number of seats. In the BMC election two days back, the people of Mumbai have expressed their trust in the BJP for the first time,” PM Modi said while addressing the gathering in Nagaon.

Modi said public trust in the BJP has been steadily increasing over the past year and a half. “In Bihar, people gave us a record mandate with a historic number of seats. Just two days ago, in the BMC elections, the people of Mumbai expressed their trust in the BJP for the first time,” he said.
He added that the party has also made significant inroads in Kerala. “For the first time, the BJP has a mayor in Kerala,” Modi said, adding that recent election results reflect a clear public demand for good governance and development.
“There are other aspects to these election results. People have also continuously rejected the negative politics of the Congress. The Congress party has reduced to a mere fourth or fifth political party in Mumbai, where the party was born. The party is getting wiped out from Mumbai, where it has ruled for so many years,” Modi said, adding that the Congress has lost the trust of the country because it does not have a development agenda.
