Agartala, Feb 8 (FD) Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday asserted that India has emerged as a strong nation in the world which can face any challenge.
Addressing an election rally at Barjala here, he said, “The whole world now aware that India is a strong country. Earlier India was known as a week party in the world. Now we are ready to face any challenge.
He said, “When Pakistan indulged terrorists entered into Indian territory our army could kill them easily and when we felt the necessity we entered inside Pakistan and liquidated them. We can kill them in Indian side and also by entering inside Pakistan. Is par vi mar sakta hu, us par vi mar sakta hu”.
Singh said Tripura was once a hot bed of insurgency, but time has come under BJP rule when insurgents would not be able to cause any harm and if they want to raise their head again would go to jail.
Stating that peace is the prime condition of development, he said, in a country or in a state law and order must be good and the BJP government would not tolerate any kind of violence.
Singh claimed that nobody in the country now dies of hunger, what had happened before the BJP government came to power.
“Before 2014, we used to see in newspaper that four persons of a family had died of starvation, but now not such a single news come out because BJP could deliver good governance”, he said.
He said the NDA government has also decided that not a single person sleep under open sky so people were distributed dwellings under PMAY scheme.
The senior BJP leader also criticized the seat sharing of Congress and CPI(M) as a combine of flute and Sitar.
“It is like such a flute which does not produce any sound and sitar also does not generate any voice because its strings are torn”, he said.
He said that he was a regular visitor of Tripura for years but changes were felt when he visited the state after the BJP government came to power in 2018.
“Earlier I saw the rural areas were plunged into darkness due to lack electricity and even in Agartala sometimes there was electricity and sometime not. Now entire Tripura is well electrified”< he said.
He said a good network of roads were built in the state to fulfill the dream of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi who wanted such pucca roads are built and connected with other Asian countries so that products of the North-East could be sold in Asian markets.
Singh said, Prime Minister assured HIRA or the Highway, Internet way, Roadway and airway and the assurances of the prime minister was implemented.
“Now Tripura has good highways and the internet connectivity is very good and has got moder airport, which is an international airport”, he said.
Singh also said that BJP will secure at least fifty seats in the sixty-member assembly. FD JK
