Development should be the first, last priority for all: PM

Addressing the Bodo Peace Accord celebration rally at Kokrajhar today, the Prime Minister appealed all those who are still following the path of violence, to quit arms and return to the mainstream.

He said that the Bodo youths could be seen as an example in this regard. PM Modi emphasized that violence will never be the solution of any issue.

Appreciating the recent surrender of around 650 militants, the Prime Minister said that they would be rehabilitated as per the schemes of the Centre and the State Government. The Prime Minister hoped that the Bodoland Territorial Council Authority would develop a new model of development by taking all stakeholders on board.
