AGARTALA, May 20 (TIWN): Opposition parties always undermined Modi Govt’s ‘Look East’ policy which is basically developing infrastructures on par with the rest of India. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been trying hard for the last few years to make inroads into India's northeast, has not only assured to end the existing corruption in Assam under the Congress rule but also to bring change and development and give employment to the youth of the region and end infiltration from Bangladesh by sealing the Indo-Bangladesh border.From Railway to other essential services like high-speed internet launched in North East but anti-BJP leaders imposed many fake accusations against the central Govt, but common people of Assam casted their vote in favour of first ever BJP Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal in state. BJP’s maiden win in Assam is now considered as party’s first step into North East as it created history with 2016’s Assembly Election where for first time BJP came into power after 69 years of independence.

However, in this regard Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Assam Election result is ‘historic’.

PM also said that BJP will take the state’s development journey to new heights.

The Modi’s wave among the young generation including the common people has made the election more possible for BJP.

"The people of Assam have been frustrated at the corruption of the Congress government, particularly in the last term of the government under Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. Although the Congress had also assured to seal the Indo-Bangladesh border and give employment to the people in 2001, nothing much changed in the three terms under the Congress government” resident of Guwahati told media. 
"Although there is no charge of any corruption against the chief minister, yet I feel that he had failed to control the ministers in his cabinet who had developed an indifferent attitude towards the problems and issues of the people," he said, adding that people have responded to the appeal of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoping that there would be real development in Assam and that youth will get employment.

"The BJP's win means a lot to Assam. The Bangladeshi infiltration has not stopped even though 30 years have elapsed since the signing of the Assam Accord. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh have assured that the Indo-Bangladesh border will be sealed to end the problem of infiltration," Rakesh Thakur, a resident of Central Assam's Nagaon district, told that while expressing hope that people like him will get employment now.

"The prime minister during his visits to the northeast often tells that the northeast has tremendous potential for development and has assured to create employment opportunities for the youth. There are over 23 lakh unemployed youth in Assam at present and each one of them is looking at the prime minister and BJP's chief ministerial candidate for Assam Sarbananda Sonowal in the days to come," Thakur said.

He said that the BJP-led government at the Centre had taken many steps soon after coming to power. "We hope the new government in Assam will take concrete steps for overall development of Assam and other part of the region," he added. 

While the anti-incumbency factor affected the ruling Congress negatively in Assam during this poll, the saffron party had also played on the issues of illegal infiltration from Bangladesh, unemployment and lack of development in the region to win over the people.

There is no state left in India now that the present PM Modi didn’t visit there yet.

Because of his developmental attitude for this hilly region which brought here Broad Gauge to many other projects like highways to high speed internet, the faith has created within people’s mind, which created a history.
