The day is not far when the train will come till Imphal, you will be connected to the whole country through rail," he said."For us, this entire region including Manipur is the gateway to India's trade and business with East Asia.

We have also promoted organic farming practices in the state," he said."The policy of the BJP government is Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayaas. That's why we connect every person, every class, every area with development. Manipur BJP has also prepared a very good and far-reaching manifesto which will make the state flourish," he added.PM Modi also said that the government has decided to celebrate the 15th of November every year as Tribal Pride Day."Our tribal society has played an important role in the freedom struggle. The BJP government has honoured this contribution. Our government has decided to celebrate the 15th of November every year as Tribal Pride Day.
