Imphal, November 12 2022:
Although all the Northeastern States including Manipur used to go to New Delhi and knock the door of the Union Govern-ment for development pro- jects, now New Delhi comes to the region following the installation of the BJP's double-engine Government, asserted BJP Manipur Pradesh vice-president Ch Chidananda.
Speaking to media persons at their Nityaipat Chu- thek office today, Chida-nanda who is also the party's media in-charge said that the Governments of the North East States no longer need to go to Delhi for development matters as testi- fied by the National Highway projects review meeting presided by Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari at Guwahati yesterday.
Rejoicing that New Delhi now comes to the North East region for development matters instead of the other way round, Chidananda claimed that there is a BJP Government at New Delhi for all the Northeastern States including Manipur.
In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's firm belief that India can never achieve its full development potential without first developing its road infrastructure, Nitin Gadkari has been paying special attention towards development of highways in the North East region, Chidananda said.
Hailing the highway projects being taken up in the State as a part of the Rs 15,599 crore package announced by the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister, the BJP Manipur Pradesh vice-president conveyed gratitude to the Chief Minister, the Works Minister, the Prime Minister and also Nitin Gadkari.
Chidananda said that construction of an elevated corridor from Koirengei to Canchipur and double laning of the road from Imphal to Kakching Lamkhai via Mayang Imphal would be seen in two/three years.
Claiming that the State Govt's 100 Days Action Programme has been making good progress, Chida- nanda lauded the CM and the Works Minister for their efforts to develop road infrastructure across the State.
