PM Modi launches projects worth Rs 11,600 crore in Assam, says development of northeast is govt’s prime agenda
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched development projects worth nearly Rs 11,600 crore in Assam on Sunday. The infrastructure projects, some funded by the state government and some by the Centre, were unveiled at a function at the Veterinary College Playground in Khanapara in Guwahati.
PM Modi also addressed a public meeting at the Veterinary College Playground in Khanaparaj, Guwahati.
“After independence those who were in power for years, even they could not understand the importance of the sacred places of worship. For political benefits, they started a trend of being ashamed of their own culture and history. No country can progress by neglecting its history. But, in the last ten years the situation in the country has changed,” PM Modi said at the event.
The PM on Saturday reached Guwahati on a two-day trip, during which he will meet the BJP’s state core committee and roll out several projects. He landed at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati from Odisha around 6.30 pm and proceeded to Koinadhara state guest house.
