Centre not giving much importance to Northeast and our people: Congress MP

Congress MP from 37-Pasighat West Assembly Constituency, Arunachal Pradesh Ninong Ering raised a question to the Centre asking why it doesn’t give much importance to Northeast and its people, and why they don't have much representation in the government.

He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi that why cannot Kiren Rijiju be a Cabinet Minister? “Give us a chance, see the North East, how we can come forward,” he said. “Rameshwar Teli is just making some food parks, Kiren Rijiju looking after AYUSH. Want to tell Prime Minister that give our people important portfolios,” he said.
