The folowing way is working
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/ciblog/assets/css/bootstrap.min.css">

But when try to get it dynamically.... it not works

Do you have your base url set in your config?

PHP Code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
| http://example.com/
|
| WARNING: You MUST set this value!
|
| If it is not set, then CodeIgniter will try guess the protocol and path
| your installation, but due to security concerns the hostname will be set
| to $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] if available, or localhost otherwise.
| The auto-detection mechanism exists only for convenience during
| development and MUST NOT be used in production!
|
| If you need to allow multiple domains, remember that this file is still
| a PHP script and you can easily do that on your own.

$config['base_url'] = '';

Thanks Martin for the reply.
I did it but not resolved the issue.
base_url = 'localhost/ciblog'

You need to add the ending slash / onto the base url

PHP Code:
$config['base_url'] = 'localhost/ciblog/';
