Arunachal Assembly Polls: BJP Leader Ashok Singhal Hails Infrastructure Development In State
Arunachal Pradesh's BJP in-charge Ashok Singhal, who is also a minister in the Assam government, said the BJP was aiming for a strike rate of 90 percent in the elections, expecting to win nothing less than 55 of the 60 assembly seats.
Furthermore, the party leader also claimed that the infrastructure developed in the state was better than anywhere else in the country.
What all did the BJP leader say?
"Development work has taken place in Arunachal Pradesh in the last 10 years. The care with which PM Narendra Modi looks after the Northeast, the people have understood that this is the only party that will look after their interest," Singhal said.
"People have lost faith in all parties other than BJP, and that is why we won 10 seats uncontested," he added.
"We were expecting a crowd of 50,000-55,000, but the turnout was more than 1 lakh. People of Itanagar came to the rally on their own. This happens when there is tremendous goodwill, respect and support," Singhal said.
Asked if the border row with China was an election issue in the state, he claimed, "China is an external issue. It has nothing to do with the election process of the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The Ministry of External Affairs is well equipped to deal with this issue."
