Modi also criticised the previous Congress government for “not doing anything for the people of Assam.”

“The previous government had shown a step-motherly attitude for Assam. After our government came into power, we have launched several developmental schemes and work to strengthen the communication sector of Assam. We have built several bridges and several major roads projects in Assam and Northeast to develop Infrastructure development of Assam,” he said.

“Dhemaji Engineering College is the first engineering college in the North bank which was ignored by the previous government,” he added.

Modi also claimed that the motto of his government is to empower the Northeast as a new engine for India’s growth.
