BJP's agenda is all round development; Unprecedented investment for better road connectivity. Mr Modi was speaking after dedicating to the nation, the 60-Megawatt Tuirial Hydropower Project in Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram today.

He also said the central schemes for the benefit of the north-east had gained momentum and that his government was committed to developing the region.

He also pointed out his government has sanctioned rail and road projects worth Rs. 79000 crore for the North East.
