He added, “Advantage Assam is a mega campaign to connect the entire world with the potential and progress of Assam. History witnessed that even earlier Eastern India had a huge role in the prosperity of India. Today, when India is moving towards development, once again our North East is going to show its strength”.
Hailing India’s trade ties across the globe, PM Modi added, “Today, India is strengthening its local supply chains and engaging in free trade agreements with different regions around the world. Our connections with East Asia are getting stronger, and the India-Middle East Europe Economic Corridor is creating new opportunities”.
PM Modi also talked about Assam’s contribution to the Indian economy and the role of the BJP government in that. He claimed that “Assam’s contribution is growing larger. In 2018, the first edition of Advantage Assam was launched. Back then, Assam’s economy was approximately Rs 2.75 lakh crore, now it stands at Rs 6 lakh crore. This means that under the BJP government, Assam’s economy has doubled in six years. This shows the double effect of a double-engine government”.
