Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's frequent visits to Arunachal Pradesh had accelerated the state's development and boosted people's morale, news agency PTI reported.
"No PM in history has visited Arunachal so many times. Each time, he brings new gifts of development. Today also, several important projects are being inaugurated or their foundation stones laid," Rijiju stated.
Extending a warm welcome to Modi on behalf of the people of Arunachal, Rijiju said the state would celebrate the new GST rate cut as a "Bachat Utsav" (festival of savings).
"After the PM's departure, we will take this celebration to every village and every shop so that the benefits of GST reforms reach the common people," he added. (PTI)
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Arunachal Pradesh as a "sacred and historic day" for the frontier state and the country, news agency PTI reported.
Addressing a public meeting at Indira Gandhi Park in Itanagar, Rijiju said the state was proud to host the PM on the auspicious occasion of Navratri, and to be the state from where the next-generation GST reforms were launched.
"Today is a holy day for Arunachal Pradesh and for the nation. The PM has chosen our state, the land where the first rays of the sun touch the country, to roll out the historic GST reforms that will benefit crores of poor people across the country," the Union Parliamentary and Minority Affairs minister said.
He recalled the difficult days more than a decade ago, when Arunachal lacked basic connectivity. "Fourteen to 15 years ago, we had no airport, no railway line, no proper highways, and even mobile services were absent in many villages. Reaching from one district to another often took weeks, especially during monsoons. Those hardships are still fresh in our memory," he told the gathering.
"Today, Arunachal Pradesh has its own airport connecting us directly to Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati. We have a railway line, national highways, tunnels, and better roads. From any corner of Arunachal, people can reach Itanagar in a single day," he said, adding that the state now has the highest length of national highways in the Northeast. (PTI)
Addressing a gathering in Arunachal Pradesh's Itanagar on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came down heavily on the Congress government for its lack of focus on the region for development.
"...One inherent habit of Congress is that they never take up development work which is difficult to be done; they abandon it. This habit of Congress has caused significant harm to Arunachal Pradesh and the entire Northeast. In the hilly and forested areas, where development work was challenging, Congress would declare the regions backward and simply forget them," Modi alleged.
“Those districts which Congress labeled as backward, we have made them aspirational districts and prioritised their development. The villages at the border, which Congress called the 'last' villages, we have recognised them as the 'first' villages of the nation. The results are visible today, new heights of development are being seen in the border villages.”
Addressing a gathering in Arunachal Pradesh’s Itanagar on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged the Congress government to have “kept increasing taxes even as everything got expensive,” while hailing the latest GST reforms introduced under his leadership in the country on Sunday, news agency PTI reported.
"With the launch of GST reforms on the first day of Navratri, people will receive 'true double bonanza' this festive season. The latest GST reforms will reduce kitchen budget, helping women," he told the gathering.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a gathering in Arunachal Pradesh's Itanagar on Monday, said that he had resolved to free the country from the mindset of Congress when he came to power in 2014, according to PTI.
“When I was given the opportunity to serve the nation in 2014, I resolved to free the country from the mindset of Congress. Our guiding principle is not the number of votes or seats in any state, but ‘Nation First’. Our only mantra is Nagrik Devo Bhava (the citizen is God). Modi worships those whom no one has ever asked about. That is why Arunachal Pradesh, which was neglected during Congress rule, has since 2014 become a center of developmental priority," he asserted.
Arunachal got Rs 1 lakh crore from Centre in the last ten years, 16 times more than what it got during Congress rule, he added.
He also said that he knew Northeast couldn't be developed while sitting in Delhi, so he sent ministers, officers more frequently to region. (PTI)
Addressing a gathering on Monday in Itanagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came down heavily on Congress for lack of development in Arunachal Pradesh.
He said, “Although Arunachal Pradesh is where the sun’s rays fall first, it took several decades for the rays of rapid development to reach here... Those who were running the country from Delhi at that time often ignored Arunachal. Parties like Congress thought there were so few people and only two Lok Sabha seats, so why pay attention to Arunachal? This mindset of Congress caused significant harm to Arunachal and the entire North East.”
