New Delhi, Feb 9 (PTI) A BJP MP from Ladakh on Wednesday alleged that the danger at India's border with China is the result of previous Congress governments' failure to develop infrastructure in the forward areas.

Participating in the discussion on the Union Budget in the Lok Sabha, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal said the Congress did little for the border areas during its long tenure in the office, but things are now changing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
