Amit Shah talks of making Assam, North East biggest contributor to India's GDP

Nagaon: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the journey the BJP started five years ago in Assam will continue till the state along with other states of the northeastern region emerges as the biggest contributor to the country’s GDP.

The journey initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been taken forward by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Shah said after attending the ‘Mahayagya’ at the Shivlinga shaped ‘Maha Mrityunjaya’ temple, believed to be the tallest Shiva temple in the world, in Assam’s Nagaon district.

“This is just the first step and the journey will continue till Assam becomes violence-free, infiltrator-free and flood-free,” Shah said. The BJP and its alles are in power in all the eight states of the northeast.
