Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the Congress for questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the he did for the region, saying that the Congess won't be able to see development if it keeps its eyes closed.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah today claimed that the BJP has ended the "culture of corruption" in the Northeast and funds meant for development work now get percolated to the last man, while middlemen siphoned off most of the amount during Congress rule.
He said that the region had remained neglected during 50 years of Congress rule and asserted that it came on the fast track of development only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014.
Addressing a public rally in Namsai district, Mr Shah criticized the Congress for questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi on what he did for the region, saying that the grand old party won't be able to see development if it keeps its eyes closed.
"Rahul Gandhi, open your eyes and discard Italian glasses and wear Indian ones. Then only, you could see what development Prime Minister Modi has brought to the region, which your party failed to do in 50 years," he said.
