Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday pledged a “flood of development” for Barak Valley if BJP-led NDA retains power at the Centre.
He appealed people to elect BJP candidates for the sake of development as he inaugurated and laid foundation for projects worth over Rs 2,000 crore for the three Barak Valley districts at different functions.
“Today, projects worth over Rs 2,000 crore have come for Barak Valley. During Congress regime, they would declare special package of Rs 1,000 crore but no one knew where the money went,” Sarma said after the ‘bhumi pujan’ of Karimganj Medical College.
Referring to Congress legislators, particularly Karimganj North MLA Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha who extended ‘support to the BJP government,’ the CM said it is good for the people of the district that leaders have come together.
“A lot of work is happening here now. But according to us, lot more needs to be done. If we don’t indulge in any other politics but only do politics of development and ensure victory of BJP candidates, development will be ensured,” Sarma said.
More development can be done for Barak Valley if Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister for the third straight term, the BJP leader added.
“People have seen floods triggered by the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers. If a BJP MP is elected from here, they will see a flood of development,” he said.
