He further said that if Gandhi continues like this, not only North East but Congress will be wiped out from the entire country. Taking a dig at the opposition, Amit Shah said that more the opposition badmouth PM Modi, the more BJP will grow.

The Union Home Minister also slammed the Congress saying that once the Northeast was the fortress of the Congress but it failed to perform in the recently concluded polls in the three northeastern states of Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland despite Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“North East was once the Congress’s fortress but despite Rahul Gandhi’s yatra, it failed to perform in recent polls. They were wiped out in the elections,” Shah said.
The Union Home Minister also said that the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act has been removed from 70 percent of Assam and added that issues like insurgency and agitations have become a thing of the past in the state.

AFSPA has been removed from 70 percent of Assam. Bodoland and Karbi Anglong have become peaceful. Border disputes with other states are being resolved. Earlier, Assam was known for agitation and insurgency but now there is peace and people are dancing to the beats of Bihu music,” Shah said.
