Agartala, March 9 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that BJP-led government in Tripura replaced corruption, commission and ‘Hartal’ (shut down) culture of 30 years of governance.
Addressing a gathering virtually from Delhi, Modi without naming the previous Left Front government said that the ‘double engine’ government (centre and state) during the last three years with new investments has been changing the earlier scenario of the closure of industry.
He claimed that the state government employees who were earlier hassled over the salary on time are now getting higher scale of salary as per 7th pay commission recommendations.
“For the first time, MSP (Minimum Support Price) has been decided in Tripura where farmers used to face many problems for selling their produce. With the environment of ease of doing business, exports from Tripura in terms of volume have increased by five times.” The Prime Minister informed that in the past six years, the Centre has taken care of every requirement for the development of Tripura.
Citing the significant hike in the central allocation for the state, Modi said that Tripura had received Rs 3,500 crore for central development schemes in between 2009-2014 whereas, between 2014-2019 more than Rs 12,000 crore has been provided.
