These remarks were made by the Prime Minister while addressing an audience in Guwahati after he had inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of projects worth Rs 11,599 Crore.

PM Modi highlighted some of the accomplishments made in the past decade. The focus was on bringing electricity to all households.

The Prime Minister affirmed that the BJP government’s dual engine was committed to reaching every beneficiary.

He said, “Our goal is to make life comfortable for every citizen.” The budget has allocated Rs 11 lakh crore to infrastructure development.

Maa Kamakhya Divya Pariyojana, sanctioned by the PM-DevINE scheme (Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North Eastern Region), was one of the major projects inaugurated.

The project is designed to offer world-class facilities to pilgrims who visit the Kamakhya Temple. PM Modi thanked the Assam government for allowing him to dedicate these projects and emphasised the importance of strengthening the connectivity between South Asia.

He said that these projects will create employment in the tourism industry. Reflecting on the growing enthusiasm for tourism in the country, Modi noted that more than 24 lakh people visited the Ram Temple at Ayodhya within 12 days of its opening to the public on January 22, 2018.
