She said in a video: "Namaste, whatever is happening in the country, we all know about it. And I salute that enthusiasm.
But there is a part of the country that we need a lot, that is Assam. There have been a lot of bad floods in Assam. The situation is so bad that 7.5 lakh people have been evacuated. More than 40 people have died and the death toll is increasing."
"Entire villages have been washed away, animals have been washed away. Whatever they had, everything is finished. Not many people are talking about it, but I have complete faith. Like last year, the whole country was standing. Punjab, Jammu, Bihar, Maharashtra. And we showed a sense of community service. You sent so many supplies, donated, that time has come again.
And this time Assam needs us."
