Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s video message was also played at the event.
“In place of corruption and commission culture in earlier years, now the beneficiaries have direct access to their accounts. Employees who were worried about getting their salaries on time are getting salaries as per the 7th Pay Commission”, Modi said.
For the first time after the government change, crops were purchased at the minimum support price (MSP), Modi added.
“Earlier farmers faced many problems in selling their crops. The circumstances against the closure of the new investment industry are now changing. Exports from Tripura have increased 5 times in comparison to what it was previously”, Modi added.
