Sarbananda Sonowal Addresses Election Rally At Khowang In Dibrugarh Lok Sabha Constituency
Addressing an election rally at Khowang in Dibrugarh Lok Sabha constituency, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “During the 1962 Chinese aggression, the people of Assam sought help from the then Congress government but they denied of any kind of help and left the part of Arunachal Pradesh from India. This is the real character of the Congress, they have not done anything in their 60-year rule. No development in the Northeast but after the Narendra Modi-led BJP came into power they have prioritized the development of the Northeast.”
“Congress cheated the people of Assam and not done any development. They only promised but didn’t fulfil any promises during their rule. But under the vibrant leadership of Narendra Modi, our Northeast region has been moving towards development. The Congress during their 60 years of rule didn’t prioritize the development of the Northeast. We are moving towards Viksit Bharat,” the Union Minister added.
