"With the goodwill initiative of 'Sab Ka Sath, Sabka Vikas' under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government has been trying for all round development of North East," Mr Rijiju said.

"Every effort has been made to deliver a transparent and corruption free governance for all," he said at the programme held to celebrate the three years of BJP in power.

He also highlighted various projects undertaken by the Centre for the north east during the last three years.
