"In football, when someone plays foul and against the spirit of sportsmanship, they are given a red card. In the same way, in the northeast in last 8 years, we have given red card to all hurdles like underdevelopment, corruption, political favouritism, and unrest," he said.
The PM said that his government is focussing on development of sports in the northeast, with the country's first national sports university and 90 major sports projects underway in the region.
