‘NE stands for New Engine’, says Modi
“NE will not be known as North East anymore, but New Engine, for the new engine which will drive India’s economy forward,” says Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Assam.
Modi bats for solar energy, timber farming
“We need to promote timber farming. India imports timber from other countries, but we should be growing it locally. Farmers should also use solar energy to power their own fields. This will make them self-sufficient and insulate them from external factors,” says Narendra Modi at a rally in Assam.
Farmers need to be protected from vagaries of weather: Narendra Modi
Farmers are currently suffering from drought, hail, floods, etc. We need to create a safety net to save them. We need to follow the example of the Northeast, which has embraced organic farming in a big way. Sikkim has already gone organic, Assam has gone organic. Other states should do likewise.
Farmers’ income will be doubled by 2022: Modi
“By 2022, when India is 75 years old, we want all farmers’ income to double. I have five years to do this, and I will achieve this target,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Assam.
Congress criticises BJP for appropriating the project
Former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi alleged that he is not being allowed to go to the site. “They did not allow me to go to the bridge, saying that it is because of security concerns and law and order issues. Am I a terrorist? Will I break the laws? Why are they not allowing me to visit the bridge?” questioned Gogoi, who himself enjoys ‘Z Plus’ security cover.
The Congress government had laid the foundation, carried out the construction and completed the bridge on Brahmaputra river, but BJP was trying to take all the credit by inaugurating it with much fanfare, he said. “It is like we planted a tree, nurtured it, but now they are eating the fruits. Let them. But can’t I even come and see my tree?” he asked.
Locals happy with new bridge, say it will boost connectivity
The 9.15-kilometre-long bridge is expected to be a boon to the residents of Sadiya, situated on the northern bank of Lohit, which has been isolated from the rest of the state. The residents of Sadiya too are happy about the development, as they have had to generally depend on ferries to travel to Dhola, which is situated on the southern bank of the river, from where they travel to Dibrugarh and Tinsukia.
