When PM Modi Agreed With Rajiv Gandhi’s Assessment

“They (Congress) didn’t work for 15 years and expect me to do all the work in 15 months”, Modi said while addressing a rally here. His address will be transmitted to other institutions though the National Knowledge Network, the mentor director said. “To solve this problem, I have directed the DONER Ministry that its entire secretariat would meet once a month in any North Eastern state where people can come to discuss their problems and the state have been asked to give a detailed account of the funds allotted to them”, he added.

With this, the BPF has declared all the 16 candidates the party is fielding in the coming Assam assembly election in BTAD. The BPF is believed to have strong presence in Kokrajhar and its neighbouring areas. However, after the first election to the Bodoland Territorial Council in the same year, the party suffered a vertical split owing to differences in ideology, and turned into two factions – BPPF(Rabiram) headed by Narzary and BPPF (Hagrama) headed by Mohilary, the chairman of the erstwhile Boro Liberation Tiger. “The BPF will at least 12 seats and the BJP and BPF together will form the next government in Assam after the poll”, Mohilary said.

Targeting former PM Manmohan Singh, Modi said that its surprising that Assam still has such a long list of demands despite the fact that Singh was Assam’s own (Manmohan Singh has been elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam). It was only on Sunday night that the BPF forged an alliance with the BJP. The Centre has started asking for the accounts. “And doing that over and over is what has led to your anger”, Modi said.

“I am not bothered if people do not like me but I am bothered about my country’s progress and development and I work to achieve that”, the Prime Minister asserted.

“Youth of our nation want employment and that is why my government emphasizes on development”, he added.

The Centre will grant Scheduled Tribe-Hills status to the Bodo community residing in Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts and will also upgrade the status of Central Institute of Technology at Kokrajhar to that of a deemed university. The campus of IIITG is located at Sontola Gaon which is 4 kilometers away from the airport towards Goalpara.
