Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Friday addressed a public meeting at Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram, after laying the foundation stone for construction of a new Sainik School besides making public announcement for the implementation of the Food Security Bill in the State.
“We also had promised to revive the economic growth. I believe the progress made in the past five years is there to all of you to see. A number of projects to generate electricity have been taken up as electricity is essential for economic growth for small-medium industries, for farmers and for all people in general. Seven rivers have been harnessed for generating power and in manner that will fully protect the environment. Rural roads have been constructed to improve the connectivity. The use of bamboo has received a major boost; advances have also been made in horticulture where fruits especially strawberry and flowers are in great demand across the country” said Sonia Gandhi.
