The BJP-led NDA administration has changed the previous mindset and approach to developing the northeast since the government views the area as the economic engine of the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday while speaking at an election rally in Tura, Meghalaya. The BJP government, according to the prime minister, is pushing for the development of infrastructure. “The BJP government must be present in both Shillong and Delhi for Meghalaya to flourish. The amount of money budgeted for the northeast and tribal communities’ development has significantly risen, “Said Modi.
The Prime Minister criticised the past Congress administration and the Congress leaders, alleging that they swindled money for their own gain and saw the northeastern region as the country’s final hope. While some are “counting days until Modi’s death,” others are of the opinion that “as long as Modi is alive, the country’s progress would continue at a high speed” since “Congress representatives visited the northeastern region only during election season,” he said.He informed the crowd that the BJP represents stability, a state free of corruption, employment for young people, a society devoid of strife, and support for women and all religious and racial groups.
The 11 Meghalaya districts of the state are being connected to the National Highway, the Prime Minister said, adding that there is no lack of funding for roads and rural development. He added that Rs 5,000 crore is being spent on this project. He said: “Connectivity between Meghalaya and Myanmar is being created.” “Our secularism is the development of every individual, regardless of religion, caste, or geography. Numerous individuals, including nurses from Kerala, travelled abroad and became stranded; however, the government saved them without taking their religion into account.”The BJP government operates, according to Modi, with a devotion to the nation and its citizens first.
