New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally, on Tuesday accused the previous governments in New Delhi of neglecting the Northeast, as he launched a raft of development projects ahead of the assembly elections due in the state early next year.
The Northeast will become the driver of India’s growth story, he said, after laying the foundation stone for 22 development projects worth Rs 4,815 crore in Manipur.
“Those who ran previous governments in Delhi neglected Manipur resulting in alienation of people. After becoming the PM, I brought New Delhi to the doorsteps of Manipur and the Northeast. The entire region will become major drivers of India’s growth,” Modi said
