PM Modi, who inaugurated the Shillong-Nongstoin-Rongjeng-Tura road in Meghalaya, addressed a gathering in state capital Shillong in what is being seen as the launch of the BJP's election campaign in the Congress-ruled state where assembly elections will be held next year. "The wave for change, which began with the Assam elections, is now reaching Meghalaya. This state can do wonders. 15 years of Congress rule has ruined Meghalaya," PM Modi said.
"We want to make Meghalaya a top tourist destination. Government of India has sanctioned around Rs. 100 crore for development of tourist destinations in the state... The BJP's agenda is development, speedy development, and all-round development," PM Modi said.
