Dhekiajuli (Assam): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday claimed an international conspiracy has been hatched to “defame” Indian tea, on a visit to Assam, a major producer of the brew.
On a second visit to the election-bound state in a fortnight, Modi also pitched for setting up at least one medical college and a technical institution in each state that will impart education in the native language.
