Agartala: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday slammed the Congress, saying the party had adopted the 'loot' east policy while the BJP turned it into the 'Act East' policy.
Addressing an election rally here, the Prime Minister said Tripura has witnessed pioneering transformations under the BJP government. "The Congress had adopted the 'loot' east policy while the BJP turned it into the Act East policy," Modi said, adding that the grand old party did not do any justice to the Northeast and turned the region into an 'adda of bhrastachar' (hub of corruption) while the communists spoiled the state's prospects.
The PM said the BJP government has been working hard for development in the region. Modi said his government has decided to construct three crore new houses in India for the poor. "Tripura's people are going to benefit a great deal from it," he added. Modi said the birth celebrations of Lord Ram is being held in his own temple in Ayodhya after 500 years.
"After a long wait of 500 years, Ram Lalla is finally in a grand temple in Ayodhya instead of a tent," he added.
The Prime Minister said his government is focusing on enhancing connectivity in the Northeast. "Rs 3,000 crore will be spent for the facelift of highways in the state while the Feni bridge connecting Bangladesh with South Tripura's Sabroom subdivision has been built. Electrification on the railway tracks has been progressing", he said.
