Imphal, Feb 25 (IBNS) : Slamming the Congress for not doing anything in Manipur in its 15 years of rule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised that the BJP, if elected to power, will usher in more development in 15 months.

"What they (Congress) did not do in last 15 years, I assure we will do it in 15 months," he said while addressing an election rally.

" It has been 15 years, Manipur has been ruined. Who is responsible? Congress did no development,do they deserve to be here now."

The PM said Manipur is considered as the Switzerland of East but the state has been "destroyed."

Unless development takes place in the north-eastern states,  the country's progress will never be complete, Modi said.

He thanked the people for attending the rally in great numbers, asserting that the BJP will celebrate its victory very soon.

"I urge you to let BJP serve the people of Manipur. Just give us 5 years; you have given them 15 years. In 15 months, we'll do what they haven't," he said.
