High-Stakes Campaign Amit Shah Vows UCC Implementation and Infiltrator Free Assam

In a powerful pre-election address that has set the narrative for the upcoming Assam Assembly polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reiterated the BJP’s commitment to implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and ensuring the complete deportation of illegal immigrants. Speaking at a series of massive rallies, Shah launched a direct attack on the Congress party, accusing it of historically encouraging infiltration for “vote-bank politics.” He asserted that while the Congress era was marked by “bomb blasts and shootings,” the current leadership has established a period of peace, urging voters to cast their ballots not just for a Chief Minister, but to safeguard the state’s demographic and cultural integrity.

The Home Minister’s “identify, delete, and deport” message has emerged as the central war cry for the NDA’s campaign, particularly in regions where demographic shifts remain a sensitive issue. Shah promised that under a renewed mandate, every single illegal infiltrator would be identified and sent back, further contrasting the BJP’s “double-engine” growth model with the opposition’s alleged “poisonous division.” While the Congress has hit back, accusing the ruling party of using “hate language” to polarize the electorate, the BJP’s aggressive push for the UCC and a “clean” NRC suggests that identity and national security will remain the primary battlegrounds for the 2026 mandate.
