ARUNACHAL GOVERNMENT-STRESSES ON GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Northeast Today|March 2020
In an attempt to break BJP’s image of being a political party of non-tribal leaders, BJP in the past few years have started a massive outreach campaign to counter this by penetrating more and more in tribal areas. Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu is the bankable face for BJP and RSS to project and expand the saffron party in the untapped tribal areas across the country, where the BJP is yet to expand its outreach.

ARUNACHAL GOVERNMENT-STRESSES ON GROWTH AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The state revenue of Arunachal Pradesh which stood at about Rs 900 crores when Pema Khandu took over as Chief Minister in 2016 has increased to about Rs 2000 crores in 2018-19. Khandu, a huge advocate of growth and sustainable development, said that proper utilization of hydropower holds the key to growth and economy of Arunachal Pradesh, and has appealed to everyone, to join hands with the government to bring in investments and successfully complete all developmental projects including the hydropower project. Northeast Today reports on the recent development in Arunachal Pradesh initiated by CM Khandu.

The Arunachal Pradesh government is on an evolution phase from the earlier period of the time, when the state faced political turmoil and instability, besides constant alienation over packages for development, which is much required in the state.

With political stability and no rebellion within the BJP party in the state of Arunachal Pradesh and the BJP led government in the state, chief minister Pema Khandu has got the freehand and opportunity to take decisive steps for the state in terms of development and welfare.
