Having been engaged in a dialogue with Delhi CM Shri @ArvindKejriwal, who's by now in habit of mocking at other states, I'm of the view that we should work on curing the disease of disparity, and not mock poor states. Can we have 5 Capitals of India, one in every zone? 1/3
This will ensure, govts like Delhi do not have huge wealth at their disposal vis a vis North East and states from East. And of of course what we've been doing in health, education, communication with blessings of our PM Shri @narendramodi Ji was unheard of in last 75 years. 2/3
Finally, after seven decades of denial & negligence, process of mainstreaming of the North East started in 2014 by Hon PM, and the pace of progress is unrelenting.
North East does not need sympathy & ridicule, we need what's due to us - respect, resources and regeneration. 3/3

Dear @ArvindKejriwal Ji, Your ignorance is painful. Let me help you. Assam is 50 times bigger than Delhi! Our 44521 govt schools teach 65 lakh students- against your 1000+ odd schools. Our army of dedicated teachers number 2+ lakh; Midday meal workers 1.18 lakh. Fathom it?👇
Unlike in Delhi, we manage fury of floods, dealt with militancy, negotiate hilly & tough terrains - and yet deliver high quality education.
We're amazing hosts. Please come; spend 2 nights in our riverine area and hill districts. See challenges we face. You'll stop lecturing👇
We impart education in six mediums including 14 different tribal languages. Our diversity is something that we'r proud of, cherish, & ensure it to thrive through our unique education system. And yes, we do not have resources like that in Delhi. We're proud of what we've and do!👇
Member (Health) @NITIAayog & Chair of National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC) Dr Vinod Paul has addressed many myths around #CovidVaccination and gives out facts on all these issues.
Myth 1: Centre is not doing enough to buy vaccines from abroad
Fact: Buying vaccines internationally is not similar to buying off the shelf items. Vaccines are in limited supply globally & companies have their own priorities, game-plans & compulsions in allocating finite stocks.
Myth 2: Centre has not approved vaccines available globally
Fact: The Central Government has proactively eased entry of vaccines approved by US FDA, EMA, UK's MHRA and Japan's PMDA, and WHO's Emergency Use Listing into India in April.

As a part of Hon PM Sri @narendramodi's comprehensive vision for improving universal access to health services, 50 lakh + patients have been served remote doctor consultation through eSanjeevani throughout the pandemic starting April 2020.
The new Cabinet held its first meeting today (May 11, 2021) & resolved to fulfill the promises made to our people.
We have taken our first steps in this journey with the following decisions 👇
1. To contain #Covid cases, more restrictions & containment measures would be put in place from May 13, 2021. Detailed SOP will be issued on Wednesday. In case restrictions have to continue for more than a fortnight, Govt will consider financial relief package for weaker sections
2. As promised during elections, the Cabinet decided to give employment to 1 lakh educated unemployed youths of the state in posts considered essential to improve public service delivery. A Committee is being constituted under Finance Minister to work out the modalities.
