Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Centre would extend all assistance to Assam and other Northeastern states to ensure their speedy development as part of the Act East Policy.
“Assam will be the centre point to bring about effective all-round development of the entire North East and this region will emerge as powerfully developed part of the country as a part of our Act East Policy,” Modi said addressing a mammoth gathering after the swearing-in of first BJP government in Assam under Sarbananda Sonowal.
“We have a vision of all-round and balanced development in all parts of the country. We cannot rest if only the western part of the country progresses and the eastern part lag behinds. We are committed to ensure development of Assam, Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and the entire North East.”
The Centre, he said, believes in competitive and cooperative federalism.
“We give maximum power to the states who want to progress while we hold hands of states who are not strong enough,” he said. (PTI)
