\'BJP brought peace, development in region,\' says Amit Shah in Arunachal

Arunachal Pradesh: Addressing an election rally in Arunachal on Friday, BJP president Amit Shah said PM Modi had instructed ministers to visit northeast every fortnight to resolve problems in the region.

Praising the BJP government, Shah said, “Five years ago, northeast was disturbed and there was hardly any development. After five years, BJP brought peace in the region and is on path of development.”

He said all parts of the region are now connected with airways and railways and government gave Rs 50,000 crore for the development of roads of the state.

“Arunachal Pradesh earned Rs 927 crore revenue and the credit goes to Prema Khandu ji. It’s going to make this state financially independent,” Shah added.

With elections round the corner, Shah said for the first time BJP is contesting all Assembly seats in Arunachal. “Our winning streak began when 3 BJP MLAs were elected uncontested,” he added.

Hitting out at the Congress, he said the development work had come to a halt under the grand old party. The Congress has made no effort during its tenure to root out terrorism or corruption from the country, he said.

"When Modi ji took action against Pakistan-sponsored terrorist groups by ordering an air strike on their camps, post the Pulwama attack, a pall of gloom descended on Pakistan and on the face of Rahul Gandhi," Shah claimed.

Arunachal Pradesh is going to simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls on April 11.
