North-East used to feel far away from Delhi. Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @NarendraModi Ji has turned it around with his loving & caring attitude towards the people and through his tremendous focus on the development of the region.
Now, North-East feels part of mainstream India! https://t.co/7SJYZkqeP7— Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) December 27, 2020
