PM Modi veiled attack on Congress in Assam, says some people always complaining about credit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Assam to lay the groundwork and inaugurate projects worth around Rs 14,300 crore, unleashed a stinging attack on the previous Congress government.

On April 14, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a veiled assault on the Congress party, saying, "When I talk about the development in the northeast during my visits across the country, some people start complaining about not getting credit." They were credit-hungry, so the northeast was out of the question. We, on the other hand, strive for the benefit of the people."

In a veiled assault, the PM also accused the Congress-led UPA administration of treating northeast India in a "step-motherly" manner.
