Tapir Gao, the incumbent Member of Parliament representing Arunachal East, has strongly condemned China's objections to Prime Minister Modi's visit to Arunachal Pradesh.
Gao took a swipe at the previous Congress regime, attributing China's encroachments in Upper Subansiri and Upper Siang to Congress's negligence towards border security.
He contrasted this with the significant infrastructural developments witnessed under the BJP-led government in Arunachal Pradesh, citing improvements in highways and other sectors.
Dismissing China's interference, Gao affirmed that Arunachal Pradesh extends a warm welcome to all dignitaries, regardless of objections from across the border.
Addressing concerns regarding potential anti-incumbency in his candidacy for the Arunachal East Parliamentary constituency, Gao stressed that within the 27 assembly constituencies of Arunachal East, there is negligible anti-incumbency except within the opposition ranks.
"In a democracy, every individual has the right to contest or seek a party ticket, irrespective of their party affiliation. In our BJP, many candidates seek a ticket, which is their right, and now that the party has given me the ticket, all BJP workers will support me unanimously," the MP stated.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Western Parliament office at the state BJP headquarters in Itanagar, Gao highlighted the achievements of the BJP government in various sectors such as healthcare, education, water supply, electricity, and sports.
The event witnessed the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein and other legislators.
