Union minister and senior BJP leader Smriti Irani said that the opposition Congress only showed dreams of development during its regime in Assam, but the promises were fulfilled after the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power at the Centre.

Addressing her second rally during the day ahead of the state assembly elections in Assam, the Union textiles minister alleged that the Congress “looted public money” and did not undertake developmental works in Assam during its regime in the state.

“Congress had ruled Assam for years and showed dreams of development. However, development works started only when Narendra Modi became prime minister in 2014,” she said.
