“Previous governments at the Centre had completely ignored the Northeast citing it is very far from New Delhi. But after I became Prime Minister, I brought the entire Indian government and New Delhi to the Northeast,” PM Modi said.
Modi also accused the previous governments in Manipur of playing politics by creating rift between the people residing in hills and those living in valleys.
“There are some people who want to create instability again in Manipur to grab power,” PM Modi said.
