Union minister for earth sciences Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday attacked Opposition parties during the ongoing no-confidence motion debate, and said that it was only in the Narendra Modi regime that the North East had seen real development. Rijiju, who represents Arunachal West constituency, spoke for more than an hour and claimed that Modi’s leadership had won the trust of the people living in all northeastern states.

“Before 2014, many people from the Northeast faced racial discrimination and atrocities in Delhi and other major cities of the country. After 2014 the situation changed, and the DGP conference was held in Guwahati for the first time after independence. During this meeting, the PM directed that police must ensure the security of people from the Northeast,” Rijiju said.

“Working for people and understanding their issues is how we can reach them. PM Modi won the trust of the people living in the eight Northeastern states that way. The insurgency has been brought down, and every region brought to the mainstream,” he added.
