Engaging in symbolic activities such as plucking tea leaves, PM Modi interacted with women workers. “The plucking of tea leaves was followed by the women talking about their culture and, of course, a selfie!” he wrote, calling it a “very memorable experience”.
Drawing a contrast with the past, he said earlier decades were the dark era of Congress rule, while the last ten years have seen improved governance and stability.
The Prime Minister accused previous Congress governments of ignoring the development of the Northeast for decades after independence.
