On April 14, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Assam and launched several railway projects across the Northeast, commissioned a methanol plant, and laid the foundation stone for a bridge over the Brahmaputra river. Modi claimed that in the nine years since his government came to power, the definition of connectivity had been changed, bringing the northeast nearer to the rest of the country. The prime minister also witnessed a mega-Bihu dance performance where more than 11,000 dancers and drummers performed, which has made it to the Guinness World Records. Modi highlighted various developmental works by the BJP-led central government and said that trust is very important for development.
Bihu is a folk dance form from the northeastern state of Assam in India and is an integral part of the state’s culture. The fact that more than 11,000 dancers and drummers performed in a single venue is truly remarkable and it’s no wonder that the performance made two Guinness World Records. It’s a testament to the richness and diversity of India’s cultural heritage.
The Prime Minister of India emphasized the importance of India’s culture and tradition, which have united people of the country for thousands of years. He also called for the youth of India and Assam to come forward and help achieve a developed India. The Prime Minister highlighted the developmental works carried out by the BJP-led central government and stressed the importance of trust for development.
