Naamdaar claims that they will make the northeast a hub of manufacturing industry. They are expert in manufacturing in abuses and lies: Modi.
If the Congress party were really wanted to develop the northeast region, they would have developed infrastructure and promoted sports. Now, all the capitals of the northeast are connected with the rail lines: PM Modi.
They have played with your lives and respect. Manipur is known for football and it's about time to show the red card to Congress for the foul: Modi.
Through BPOs and Mudra yojana, we have created job opportunities for the youth of the northeast: PM Narendra Modi.
Around 1.25 lakh farmers of Manipur have started receiving financial assistance from the Centre. We changed the law around bamboo and now you can grow and sell bamboo, says Modi.
A party that indulged in Chowkidaar quarter scam, can't take care of your interests. People with such intentions and scams should lose deposit in the upcoming elections: PM Modi.
Congress is supporting those who want two prime ministers - one for Delhi and one for Jammu and Kashmir: PM Modi in Manipur.
