Ahead of the Mizoram Assembly election 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that BJP has worked in connecting Delhi to the Northeast states and that Mizoram has the potential to become a global tourist hub. He also said “When infrastructure improves, it helps trade, talent and tourism. Infrastructure brings investment, industries, and income, and also creates opportunities. During one of my earlier visits to Mizoram, I had promised to work for transformation by transportation, since then a revolution has happened across sectors due to the work of the BJP-led government... Till 2013-14, the total length of National Highways in the Northeast was 11,000 km, we increased it to 16,000 kms in 2023-23...". The Mizoram Assembly election is scheduled to be held from 13 October 2023 to 5 December 2023.
