Today, three years ago, Narendra Modi took charge of the country as the Prime Minister after a landslide victory in 2014 Lok Sabha elections defeating the Congress-led government that ruled for 10 years. As a part of elaborate celebrations of the three-year anniversary of the BJP-led government as well as its one year in Assam, PM Modi today inaugurated India's longest bridge - the Dhola-Sadiya bridge in Tinsukia district. He then addressed a rally in Assam and spoke about how this bridge will bring a new economic revolution in the country. "If Atal ji's government were re-elected in 2004, you would have got this bridge 10 years ago," PM Modi said about the five-decade-old dream, which he said will be named after famous singer Bhupen Hazarika. He also stressed on the need of infrastructure for permanent development.
