Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Assam for two days starting Saturday. He will launch two Amrit Bharat trains during his trip, and lay the foundation stone for the Kaziranga elevated corridor, according
to an official.
This will mark PM Modi’s second visit to the northeastern state in under a month, ahead of Assembly elections slated for the first half of 2026.
After arriving on the evening of January 17, the Prime Minister will watch the Bodo folk dance ‘Bagurumba’ performed by 10,000 artists at the Arjun Bhogeswar Barua Sports Stadium in the city.
The next day, Modi will travel to Kaliabor to lay the foundation stone for the Kaziranga elevated corridor, which costs Rs 6,957 crore.
He is also likely to virtually flag off two Amrit Bharat Express trains—Dibrugarh–Gomti Nagar (Lucknow) and Kamakhya–Rohtak—and address a public meeting at Kaliabor.
Earlier, PM Modi visited Assam on December 20 for two days to inaugurate the new terminal at Guwahati international airport and unveil the statue of Assam’s first Chief Minister Gopinath Bardaloi, after whom the airport is named.
He also laid the foundation stone for a ₹10,601 crore brownfield ammonia-urea plant in Dibrugarh. During his previous visit, Modi addressed public meetings in Guwahati and Namrup, setting the tone for the 2026 Assam Assembly elections.
