PM Modi takes Congress head on for keeping northeast underdeveloped
PM Narendra Modi says, “Whose government was there in Manipur when everything used to happen according to the wishes of insurgent organisations? Whose government was there in Manipur when Mahatma Gandhi’s picture was not allowed in government offices, whose government was there in Manipur when the decision to not allow the national anthem in schools was taken?… Their (opposition) pain is selective. They cannot think beyond politics…”
PM Modi also lashed at Jawaharlal Nehru and added, “Former PM Nehru ensured that no development took place in the northeastern states: PM Modi. Congress’s rule is the origin of all the troubles plaguing the northeast.”
While speaking about northeast, he said, “You (Congress) have never tried to understand the emotions of Northeast. I have visited (Northeast) 50 times. This is not just a data, this is dedication towards Northeast.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi exposed the Congress on the northeast and said, “…On 5th March 1966, Congress had its Air Force attack the helpless citizens in Mizoram. Congress should answer if it was the Air Force of any other country. Were the people of Mizoram not the citizens of my country? Was their security not the responsibility of the Government of India?…”
