BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today invoked Goddess Kamakhya's blessings, hoping it would help the party to sweep to power in the Lok Sabha polls.
"Ma Kamakhya's blessings is not only for the people of Assam, but for the entire country. Her blessings will help us in fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of the people," Modi said at the beginning of his address at a rally here.
Mentioning that he had never before seen such a crowd in Assam, he said, "Earlier, as a RSS worker I had worked in almost all districts of Assam and organised many events but never did I see such a crowd before."
