Recalling that it was the then BJP led NDA government under Atal Behari Vajpayee, which had created the Ministry for the Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER) of which he is presently in-charge, Singh said that during the last six months of the Narendra Modi led BJP government, several new schemes were approved for hill states like Jammu-Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
"The BJP leadership, hailing from the grassroots, is capable of sensitively responding to the requirements and aspirations of people living in the hilly terrains which is quite in contrast to the record of several decades of Congress-National Conference regime in the state, where most of the ruling politicians spent their time in encroaching land and building shopping malls in cities and suburbs", he claimed.
