Agartala: Training gun on Congress and Left parties in the second rally at Udaipur in Gomati district on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said nine years ago when they jointly ran the government in Delhi, the budget for the development of tribal areas was only Rs 25000 crore but this year it rose to over one lakh crore.
Seeking vote for saffron party candidates, Modi said Tripura needs to be saved from destruction. Congress and Communists never paid attention to the development of Tripura but life-changing steps have been taken in five years.
He said, “Make sure that every vote in Tripura goes to BJP. Your vote has immense value and your right choice, ‘Lotus’ will take Tripura to the level of development and prosperity. You have removed the leftists, and you are seeing the results today. Tripura is getting a free ration, full ration. The dreams of the poor, tribal communities, women, and youth of Tripura have been crushed by the Left and Congress rule. They forced people to leave Tripura”.
They raise slogans in the name of the poor, but they have never seen the pain of the poor. They fight in Kerala and make friends in Tripura, PM observed.
Earlier the life of mothers and sisters here was very difficult, but ever since the BJP government came, women are able to leave the house with their heads held high, Modi added.
