Speaking at a rally in <strong>Itanagar<\/strong>, Arunachal Pradesh, Modi unveiled development projects worth over Rs 5,100 crore, emphasizing the government\u2019s commitment to advancing the region.<\/p>\n<p>Modi addressed a crowd at the Indira Gandhi Park, highlighting his awareness that true development in the Northeast cannot stem solely from Delhi\u2019s directives. Instead, he noted he has made over 70 visits to the region and frequently sends ministers and officials to engage with local initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne inherent habit of Congress is that they never take up development work which is difficult to do; they abandon it,\u201d Modi stated. He alleged that this neglect has negatively impacted Arunachal Pradesh and other parts of the Northeast. \u201cIn hilly and forested areas, where development work proved challenging, Congress would declare these regions as backward and simply forget them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In a backdrop of upcoming festivities, Modi introduced significant tax reforms, stating that the launch of the GST \u2018Bachat Utsav\u2019 during Navratri will provide citizens with a \u201cdouble bonanza\u201d this festive season. He assured that the recent GST reforms are designed to alleviate the financial burdens on families, especially benefiting women by reducing their kitchen budgets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the previous Congress government continuously increased taxes amidst rising costs, our government has gradually eased the tax burden on citizens,\u201d claimed Modi. He noted that under this government, people have started to feel the relief of reduced taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Modi discussed the ongoing neglect faced by border villages under past Congress administrations, contributing to a migration crisis. He critiqued the party for overlooking Arunachal Pradesh due to its limited two Lok Sabha seats. \u201cI resolved to free the nation from the Congress mindset when I came to power in 2014. Our guiding principle is not based on the number of votes or seats per state; rather, it&#8217;s \u2018nation first\u2019,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister stated, \u201cOur only mantra is \u2018<strong>Nagrik Devo Bhava<\/strong>\u2019 (the citizen is God).\u201d He underscored his administration\u2019s focus on lifting communities that previously had been neglected, highlighting that since 2014, Arunachal Pradesh has become a developmental priority.<\/p>\n<p>Modi affirmed that the projects unveiled represent the \u201cdouble benefits\u201d of a \u2018double-engine\u2019 government, referring to the collaboration between the state and central governments. He cited that Arunachal Pradesh received \u20b91 lakh crore from the Centre over the last ten years, a figure 16 times higher than what the state received during the Congress\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n<p>As Modi concluded his speech, he reiterated a commitment to continue prioritizing the welfare of the citizens of Arunachal Pradesh and the Northeast, fostering a spirit of comprehensive national development that resonates across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Modi criticized Congress&#8217;s failure in developmental initiatives in Northeast India during a rally in Itanagar, unveiling projects worth Rs 5,100 crore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-national"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
