Speaking about the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in bringing the glory of the country, Sarbananda Sonowal said, "In last seven years, Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji's efforts have made India proud. From Arunachal Pradesh to Gujarat and from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, PM Modi ji's initiatives for citizens have enabled India to become a world leader. Hence, everyone is realizing the wave of Parivartan. Today, from techies to youths, women to Divyangs, farmers and students, ST/SC, Dalits, all have benefited. India is waking up like never before and becoming Aatmanirbhar. I call upon you to also join this journey.

"Manipur is strong and a powerhouse of India. With your language, culture, the role of women, sportspersons, Manipur can be the jewel of the world. Only BJP can ensure that peace remains in Manipur. During Congress time, there were bandhs and curfews for around 100 days in a year. In the last five years, BJP has brought peace to Manipur. Today, peace and progress rule supreme in the State. Congress is corrupt and they have only increased conflict everywhere, creates fight among brothers," added the Union Minister.

Speaking about the inclusive governance brought about by the BJP Government, Sonowal further said, "The N Biren Singh-led BJP Government has enabled increased brotherhood among the hills and plains of Manipur with visionary schemes and public outreach. In the last five years, Manipur has grown tremendously. Manipur is coming out of the darkness of uncertainty towards the much required peace and progress. Today, there are big roads, modern infra and peace, the sporting prowess of Manipur is getting worldwide recognition. With the vision of PM Shri Narendra Modi ji, our aim is to increase the gati and progress of Manipur and the North-East to make India Aatmanirbhar. I believe that you will vote for BJP in large numbers and ensure resounding victory of our candidates, he said."
