Highlighting the importance the PM Narendra Modi-led govt accords to North-East, Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said not only there were five ministers from the region in the Union Cabinet, there was also a paradigm shift in development vis-à-vis insurgency-related incidents.
Shah was in Assam today as part of his two-day visit to the region. He participated in the launch and foundation stone laying ceremonies of various development projects in the state.
In Guwahati, he said, “Since Independence, not once have five ministers from North-East been selected in the Cabinet. This was done for the first time in the PM Modi’s Cabinet. This shows where North-East stands in BJP and PM Modi’s priorities.” — TNS
