Addressing a poll rally in Narmadapuram, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "...Till 2009-10, blasts used to happen every day in the country...Attacks used to happen in Mumbai and Parliament. Was there no army during that time?...If Congress had taught Pakistan a lesson, thousands of lives would have been saved...PM Modi came to power and we targeted Pakistan twice..."
