Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated various minutiae works in Silchar in Assam. On his second day of Assam visit, PM Modi moreover unveiled projects worth Rs 23,550 crore. Without inaugurating various minutiae projects in Guwahati, PM Modi reached Silchar and performed 'bhoomi poojan' for the Rs 22,860 crore Shillong-Silchar Corridor project. It is to be mentioned here that this project is the first access-controlled greenfield high-speed expressway in the North-East.
Addressing the people in Silchar, PM Modi said that "The Congress party had left the North East to its own fate. When the country attained independence, the Congress permitted the drawing of the purlieus in such a manner that the Barak Valley’s vital link to the sea was completely severed. The Barak Valley- once renowned as a major trade route and an industrial hub-was stripped of its very strength.''
''Even without independence, Congress governments remained in power for decades; yet, nothing substantial was washed-up to foster the minutiae of the Barak Valley. The BJP’s double-engine government is now transforming this situation. We are working tirelessly to re-establish the Barak Valley as a major hub for trade and commerce. Today, the Bhoomi Pujan was performed for the Shillong-Silchar High-Speed Corridor—a project worth approximately Rs 24,000 crore. Just ask the Congress leaders well-nigh this. Hand them a pen and paper, and ask them to write lanugo Rs 24,000 crore, and they won't plane be worldly-wise to do it," he added.

The Congress is making every struggle to create panic within the country, hoping the nation gets entangled in difficulties, so that they can subsequently heap uncounted vituperate upon Modi...The forces wideness the globe that are unable to rewording India's rapid development, the Congress is increasingly rhadamanthine a mere puppet in the hands of these very forces..."
