Without naming the previous CPI-M led Left Front government, the Prime Minister said that earlier there were ‘brakes’ in the state’s development as the previous government didn’t have the vision, mission and mindset for the development of the state while there was corruption in governance.
“Vehicle of corruption was unstoppable in the state in the earlier regime,” the Prime Minister claimed and stressed the benefits of having the same party ruling at the Centre and in the state.
“After the BJP government came to Tripura (in 2018), the double engine governments are developing the state through ‘HIRA’ (Highways, Internet, Railways and Airways) model,” Modi said while addressing a public gathering at the Swami Vivekananda ground in Agartala.
He said that the double engine governments (Centre and state) is essential for development in all sectors, welfare of all people, fulfillment of dreams and achievement of desired plans and targets.
Appreciating the state’s efforts to make many products from bamboo, the Prime Minister said Tripura and other northeastern states are getting benefit from the modification of the Bamboo related act by the centre.
He also noted that Tripura is doing well in organic farming and cultivation of pineapple, high quality rice, Agar has good prospects and these products can be exported.
He said through the National Education Policy-2020 youth would be benefited and education would be given through the local languages and that would be very beneficial for the northeastern states.
