The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed the NDA government in the Centre has brought stability to Manipur, which has always faced continuous blockade.
“For the last five years, Manipur hasn’t witnessed any bandh. Once Manipur witnessed 700 days of bandh and blockade, but not a single day of bandh has been witnessed in the last five years… This is the sense of assurance,” said BJP national general secretary (Organisation), BL Santhosh on Thursday.
Santhosh said, “Post-Independence, countrymen and ordinary people lacked a sense of assurance. They had everything but the sense of assurance was diminishing and missing for around 70 years.”

“In the last seven years, the government has brought a sense of assurance for the common man that there is a system in place,” the BJP leader claimed.
Santhosh made the statement while speaking after releasing a book titled ‘Modi 2.0: A Resolve to Secure India’, which captures opinions and inputs of national security experts and various leaders on the overall performance and strategies of the Narendra Modi government.

“This is the biggest achievement of seven years of Modi administration,” he claimed.
Santhosh also pointed out that now in Assam, Independence Day is celebrated in all districts for the first time.
