Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the previous governments both at the Centre and in Tripura of having no vision for the state.
“The previous government had no vision for the state. I had assured ‘HIRA’ (H-highways, I-internet way, R-railways, A-airport) model of development in Tripura,” PM Modi said.
He added: “Work is underway to develop Tripura as a gateway to the Northeast.”
PM Narendra Modi said this while addressing a mega rally at Swami Vivekananda ground in Agartala.
