BJP National President J.P. Nadda is set to address a mega rally and public gathering in Namsai on June 18. His visit is part of a one-month-long celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nine years in government. The Deputy Chief Minister, Chowna Mein, stated during a press briefing on Monday that the BJP’s motto is “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,” and now “Sabka Prayas.” The double-engine government at the central and state levels is making every effort to deliver the best development and welfare to the area and its people.
Under the leadership of PM Modi, the BJP in the country as a whole, and Arunachal Pradesh in particular, has achieved milestones in developmental activities. The development carried out in the past nine years is visible and beneficial to the masses, said the Deputy Chief Minister.
During Modi’s governance, significant changes have been witnessed by the people of the state. The Seva Sushaan Garib Kalyan scheme has provided good service and governance to farmers, poor families, and those in need.
PM Modi’s government has already constructed more than 3 crore urban and rural houses under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana. Additionally, 11.72 toilets have been built for the common people.
Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) Arunachal East, Tapir Gao, highlighted that the connectivity of airways, waterways, roadways, and highways in the state became possible and successful due to recognition by PM Modi’s government. The state budget has significantly increased from Rs. 12,000 crore to Rs. 38,000 crore, which is a testament to progress and development, according to Gao.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu, with his determination, has implemented projects sanctioned by the central government and has ensured their execution on the ground, serving as an example of ongoing development. Gao also mentioned the achievement of 4G connectivity in remote areas, initiated by the Ministry of Communication, Government of India.
Gao briefed about various PM-sponsored schemes benefiting farmers, such as PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, PMAY, PM street vendors, old-age pension, PMUY, PMJJY, JDY, etc. Many people in the state have availed these schemes provided by the central and state governments.
The Vibrant Village program, recently launched in Kibithoo, Anjaw district, exemplifies development. Kibithoo village has been declared the first village of the country, overturning its previous status as the last village in Arunachal. Numerous border villages will witness development, and their DPRs (Detailed Project Reports) will be approved and sanctioned in a phased manner. The first village’s DPR has an estimated cost of Rs. 2000 crore and is currently in progress.
Gao mentioned that he has managed fifteen ambulances in the state from his own sources, prioritizing the health sector. Additionally, several road projects in various parts of the state have been approved and funded under his persuasion, based on recommendations from the state government.
Expressing gratitude for the attention given to the northeastern states regarding the resolution of various boundary disputes, Gao emphasized that the central government, under the guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, successfully resolved the long-pending border dispute between Assam and Arunachal. He also appreciated both chief ministers for materializing the central government’s initiatives.
