BJP national president J P Nadda accused Congress and Left parties of corruption and nepotism while addressing a mega rally in South Tripura to highlight the development initiatives of Modi-led government at the Centre. He claimed that the Defense Minister of the previous UPA government did not allow the building of border roads along China, which paved the way for the Chinese government to create communication infrastructure on the other side of the border. However, under Modi’s leadership, India has proved its strength to the enemies by developing the border areas.
Nadda addressed a mammoth rally for the 9th anniversary of the Narendra Modi government along with Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, party state president Rajib Bhattacharjee, former Deputy Chief Minister and veteran saffron leader Jishnu Dev Varma, Union Minister of State Pratima Bhowmik and Rajya Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb. He spoke about the development initiatives of the government in north-eastern states, including roads, railways, airways, and connectivity issues, but did not utter a single word about the ongoing bloodshed and communal violence in Tripura’s next neighbour Manipur over a month.
Nadda claimed that during Modi’s tenure, India got a facelift in healthcare, agriculture, digital infrastructure, and self-reliance activities, which has been acknowledged by global leaders. Modi has built 74 airports, including seven in the northeast, during his nine years tenure, which Congress-led previous governments had done in the last 65 years of rule. Many presidents of countries have expressed their admiration for Modi and touched his feet in public.
Before addressing the rally, Nadda visited the house of renowned Rabindra music artist Thithi Debbarman and Dronacharya awardee gymnast coach Vishveshwar Nandi’s house as part of his public contact program. He advised the party leaders and state functionaries to work together for strengthening BJP during his meeting with them at State Guest House over organisational issues on Friday night.
