In a program organized in Silchar, Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a scathing attack on the Congress party. He said that amid the global tension and war-like situation, the central government is trying its best to minimize its impact on the countrymen, but even in this situation, Congress is trying to spread panic in the country and defame the government. The Prime Minister said that the country’s rapid progress is not being liked by some foreign powers and the Congress.
‘Congress is trying to spread panic in the country’
The Prime Minister said that in the current international circumstances, the government’s entire focus is on ensuring that common citizens face minimum difficulties. He alleged that even in such a serious situation, Congress has failed to play the role of responsible opposition and is trying to create panic in the country.
‘Congress is becoming a puppet in the hands of foreign powers’
PM Modi said that some powers of the world are not able to digest the rapid progress of India and Congress is fast becoming a puppet in the hands of those powers. He alleged that Congress leaders are continuously running propaganda to defame the country.
‘Congress is continuously losing elections’

Emphasis on making Barak Valley a logistics and trade hub
The Prime Minister said that Barak Valley is being developed as a major logistics and trade hub for the North-East through various development projects related to roads, railways and education. This will create many employment and self-employment opportunities for the youth of the area.
‘Congress ignored the North-East for decades’
PM Modi alleged that for several decades after independence, Congress governments kept the North-East away from Delhi and the mainstream of the country. He said that BJP’s double engine government has connected North-East to the mainstream of development and today this region has become the center of India’s ‘Act East’ policy.

Policy to consider border villages as ‘first village’

Under this thinking, the next phase of Vibrant Village Program has been started from Cachar district.
