Govt. not launching projects aiming polls, working 24 hrs for development: PM

TIL Desk/National/Itanagar/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that his NDA government is not launching projects with an eye on the elections, but is working round the clock for the country’s development. Lambasting critics and asking them to change their old mindset, Modi said without knowing the details, the “commentators” commented on the government’s works and policies.

While inaugurating the ‘Donyi Polo’ Greenfield airport in Itanagar and dedicating the 600 MW Kameng Hydro Power project to the nation, the Prime Minister said that since independence, the northeast has been the most backward region. The overall change of the area began when Atal Bihari Vajpayee became the Prime Minister and created a separate ministry (Development of North Eastern Region) for the region’s all round development.

“A fresh momentum started after 2014. The Northeast region is now not far away from New Delhi. The remote or the last village of the region is considered as the first village of the country,” he said. Saying that “our dream is for the welfare of the mother India ”, Modi said that his government has been working hard to take the country forward by laying equal emphasis on all the spheres.
