Itanagar/Jorhat, March 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday unveiled projects worth Rs 55,600 crore for the development of the Northeast and accused the Congress of neglecting the region and compromising the nation’s security by ignoring the border areas.
The Prime Minister, after dedicating to the nation the strategically significant Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh, accused the Congress of neglecting development in the state as there are only two Lok Sabha seats and asserted that he does not work by counting the number of Parliament seats from a state.
Modi addressed public meetings in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam after unveiling projects to the tune of Rs 55,600 crore for six Northeastern states at Itanagar and Rs 17,500 crore at Jorhat as he made a strong election pitch for his party in the region. (PTI)
