Amit Shah also inspected the single row fencing (SRF) work at the Kathalchari border out post area (India-Bangladesh border) in Sabroom in Tripura.
“The Northeast has been so far neglected as a troubled region. Insurgency, drug nexus and tension were part and parcel of it. Now, under the leadership of PM Modi, Northeast is now moving in the direction of investment, trade and commerce,” Shah added.
“The middleman system met a dead end after the BJP government came to power in Tripura. The cut money system no longer exists in the system. From cadre controlled administration, Tripura got a government that is dedicated for the people,” Amit Shah said.
Shah also appreciated Tripura government for its efforts to restore peace and security of citizens.
“When there is violence there is no development. When problems like insurgency, drug nexus and crime exist in the system, development remains elusive. The communists government can never fix this issue, this can only be possible by the government of BJP under the guidance of PM Modi,” said Shah.
