Slamming the BJP-led alliance in Assam as coming together of “two dangerous forces of communalism and divisiveness”, Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “insulting” people of the state and going back on promises of development.

The Congress President also took potshots at the Prime Minister for his remarks linking his humble origin as a tea seller with Assam tea and said “those working in the tea gardens as well as tribals are asking when will the good days (achche din) come.” ‘Achche din’ was Modi’s poll slogan in 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
