Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday alleged that the Congress has an \u201cinherent habit\u201d of abandoning any development work that is difficult, and this caused significant harm to the Northeast.<\/p>\n
Addressing a rally at the Indira Gandhi Park in Itanagar after unveiling development projects worth over Rs 5,100 crore, Modi said he knew that the Northeast couldn\u2019t be developed from Delhi, and so, he sent ministers and officers more frequently to the region, and he himself came here more than 70 times.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne inherent habit of Congress is that they never take up development work which is difficult to do; they abandon it. This habit of Congress caused significant harm to Arunachal Pradesh and the entire Northeast. In the hilly and forested areas, where development work was challenging, Congress would declare the regions backward and simply forget them,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
The PM said that with the launch of GST reforms on the first day of Navratri, people will receive a \u201cdouble bonanza\u201d this festive season.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, next-generation GST reforms have been implemented across the country, and the GST \u2018Bachat Utsav\u2019 has begun. During the season of festivals, the people have received a double bonanza,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe GST reforms will reduce kitchen budget, helping women,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The PM said the previous Congress government kept on increasing taxes even as everything got expensive.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongress imposed a heavy tax burden on the people, but our government has gradually reduced taxes, giving relief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Modi alleged the border villages were neglected by successive Congress governments, leading to the migration of people from these areas.<\/p>\n
He claimed that the Congress also overlooked Arunachal Pradesh, as it has only two Lok Sabha seats.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was given the opportunity to serve the nation in 2014, I resolved to free the country from the mindset of Congress. Our guiding principle is not the number of votes or seats in any state, but \u2018nation first\u2019. Our only mantra is \u2018Nagrik Devo Bhava\u2019 (the citizen is God),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cModi worships those whom no one has ever asked about. That is why Arunachal Pradesh, which was neglected during Congress rule, has since 2014 become a centre of developmental priority,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The PM said the projects he unveiled were an example of \u201cdouble benefits\u201d of the \u201cdouble-engine\u201d government.<\/p>\n
\u201cArunachal got Rs 1 lakh crore from Centre in the last 10 yrs, which is 16 times more than what it got during Congress rule,\u201d he said. (Agencies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
