TIL Desk/National/Changlang (NE)/ BJP president Amit Shah Friday said the Narendra Modi-led government has ensured peace and development in the northeast, which was roiled by militant activities even five years ago.
The BJP is committed to take action against cross-border terrorism and to root out insurgency in the northeast, he said, insisting that political stability returned to Arunachal after the saffron party came to power.
Modi had instructed his ministers to visit the northeast states every fortnight and resolve the problems of the people in the region, Shah said.
“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.
