"We have provided Rs. 4lakh each for rehabilitation of youth that gave up arms. Bodo language has also been given statehood and we have also provided a package of Rs. 750 crore," added Shah.

He further asserted that in the last five years, there have been no insurgencies in Assam. "Congress had shot on the youth of Assam during insurgencies in the past.
