No power in world can snatch away our territory: Modi in Arunachal

In an apparent attempt to attract the northeastern voters, the BJP leader said that the blood which runs in the people of this region is the same that runs in his veins.
Raking up the 1962 war, Modi said that during the war people of Arunachal didn`t come under pressure from China, and the call of `Jai Hind` reverberates in this land.
He praised the Arunachal people for standing firm against China`s repeated pressure tactic. “No power in this world can snatch away our territory,” Modi asserted.
"China should shed its expansionist policy and forge bilateral ties with India for peace, progress and prosperity of both the nations," the BJP PM candidate said.
"I swear in the name of this soil that I will never allow the state to disappear...Breakdown and to bow down," Modi said to a thunderous applause from people gathered near the mighty Siang River.
Laying emphasis on his pet slogan of development, the Gujarat Chief Minister said that he was a firm believer in development and will only focus on this and not on dynasty, nepotism and casteism.
Modi stressed on bringing development to the northeastern state and said that BJP has embraced the development model and will continue to move ahead with the same agenda..
Modi exhorted that Lotus (BJP`s poll symbol) will shine in all the northeastern states and there will be prosperity and progress in the region.
In order to attract the young voters, Modi asked why the GenX is unhappy here and why they have to leave their homeland and go out in search for employment.
The BJP leader said that he was in Arunachal with the message of development and asked the people gathered in the rally, “Can we trust the Government in Delhi?”
He said that a government which is sensitive to the problems in every part of this state and listens to the people should be in power.
The BJP`s PM candidate further stressed on improving the water resource management in the Northeast.
