Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has stated that the art of governance has changed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“I have been working with the PM since a very long time. The art of governance has changed…The governance as well as the special emphasis for the rural and border areas have changed tremendously in the last 8 years,” he said addressing the ‘Rozgar Mela’ here today.
Stating that the North East has become a priority for the government, he said, “The PM made the North East a priority. We can see the transformation in NE. From being a slow developing region, it has become a fast growing economy today,” he said, citing the instance of road linkages that are now completed in a faster pace as compared to earlier times.
“Shillong was the capital of NE. Since the British had already set it up as a capital, it had modern amenities since the very beginning. But when you step outside this city and move to other places you will realize the changes brought in by the PM,” stated iRijiju.
“I would like to assure you that in the future from the government of India’s side, nothing will be found wanting. All the issues of the Northeast will be given priority. I am from the Northeast so I have a direct affinity, a close connection because I have extensively travelled across the region,” the Arunachal Pradesh MP said.
He said that the whole of North East is developing fast and becoming a hub of economy.
