Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday promised to return everything Narendra Modi government “stole” from the Northeast.
Addressing a mammoth election rally for Congress candidate KL Chishi for the lone Lok Sabha seat in Nagaland at the DDSC stadium here, Gandhi said Modi government has taken away special status granted to the Northeast, North East Industrial Policy, and other special provisions and wants to “impose” the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill on the indigenous people of the region.
“We understand you have unique challenges, unique problems and you require special status. We are committed to bestow the special status back in Northeast and the North East Industrial Policy,” he said.
