Imphal, August 30 2022:
Chief minister N Biren has said that Manipur is rising among the top performing northeast states under the BJP government.
Speaking at the inauguration function of Padma Bhawan, BJP North East regional office, at Ujanbazar in Guwahati on Monday, Biren acknowledged that there was a time when people from the mainland India had a sense of insecurity visiting Manipur and Nagaland.
Those days are long gone after the coming of the BJP government and tourist footfalls are increasing in the state.
He also said that having a regional office of BJP in Guwahati will help in strengthening the party's presence and performance in the region.
The northeast region would already be at par with the major cities of the country if there was BJP rule in the past four decades.
Earlier, there seemed to be a barrier among the northeast states but BJP has removed those chasms, he claimed, while calling for a collective effort to bring BJP rule in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram too.
Mention may be made here that BJP national president JP Nadda inaugurated the newly built northeast office of the party 'Padma Bhawan' in Guwahati's Uzanbazar area on Monday in the presence of Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Manipur chief minister N Biren and Tripura chief minister Manik Saha.
