Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, stating that Assam will not tolerate what he called “Pakistani agents.” Sarma emphasized the state’s transformation and its residents’ refusal to yield to external pressures. This reaction came after reports of Gogoi opposing the Kaziranga Elevated Corridor project.
Sarma expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for initiating three new train services to Assam. He highlighted Assam’s cultural pride, with 10,000 artists performing the traditional Bagurumba dance in the Prime Minister’s presence. Sarma also noted the halt in rhino poaching incidents at Kaziranga National Park, attributing it to enhanced conservation efforts.
The Kaziranga Elevated Corridor project, costing around Rs 7,000 crore, aims to reduce travel time and ensure safe wildlife movement. Sarma exuded confidence ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, citing the realization of significant infrastructure projects like Brahmaputra bridges and the Kaziranga corridor. He affirmed the BJP’s return to power in 2026 as a tribute to the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation stone for the Kaziranga Elevated Corridor project, which includes a 86-km corridor with an elevated wildlife stretch through Kaziranga. The project also involves the widening of NH-715, enhancing connectivity across Nagaon, Karbi Anglong, and Golaghat districts. Additionally, PM Modi inaugurated two Amrit Bharat Express trains to improve rail connectivity.
