Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on 22nd September, launched development projects worth over Rs 5,100 crore in Arunachal Pradesh. He accused the Congress of neglecting the Northeast for decades.

Speaking in Itanagar, he said Congress governments treated the state as politically unimportant. They gave only about Rs 6,000 crore in central taxes in ten years. Meanwhile, the BJP has sent nearly Rs 1 lakh crore in the last decade—around 16 times more. Modi added he has visited the Northeast over 70 times, aiming to bring Delhi closer to the region.

The PM laid foundation stones for two key hydropower projects in the Shi Yomi district. These are the 186 MW Tato-I project costing Rs 1,750 crore and the 240 MW Heo project worth Rs 1,939 crore. They are expected to generate over 1,800 million units of electricity yearly.

He also initiated a convention centre in Tawang under the PM-DevINE scheme at Rs 145.37 crore. Additionally, he announced projects of more than Rs 1,290 crore for connectivity, health, and fire safety.

Later the same day, Modi is scheduled to visit Tripura to launch more development projects.
