BJP Brought Peace And Development In The Northeast: Amit Shah

Mumbai: BJP President Amit Shah said, Narendra Modi and its government has ensured peace and development in the northeast, which was roiled by militant activities even five years ago.

BJP is committed to cross-border terrorism and to end terrorism in the North-East, he said that after the saffron party came to power, political stability has returned in Arunachal.

“Five years ago, the northeast was disturbed, there was hardly any development. The BJP has brought peace to the region and paved way for its development,” he claimed.

“All parts of the northeast now have air and rail connectivity. In Arunachal alone, the govt has sanctioned Rs 50,000 crore for the development of roads,” Shah stated.

Given that Morarji Desai was the last Prime Minister, who had attended the meetings of the North-Eastern Council, Shah said that after forty years, it was again Modi who had attended the session in Shillong.

“It is for the first time that BJP is fighting on all assembly seats in Arunachal Pradesh. Our winning streak started in this region when three MLAs of our party were elected uncontested,” he said.

Election to Assembly seats and Lok Sabha constituencies will be held simultaneously in Arunachal Pradesh on April 11.
