Rijiju confident of winning fourth term from Arunachal West Lok Sabha seat
Hindustan TimesItanagar, Union Minister and senior BJP leader Kiren Rijiju dismissed notions of an anti-incumbency wave against him in the Arunachal West Parliamentary seat and exuded confidence in securing a fourth term. Real voters are the ones who shape electoral outcomes, not a handful of political activists, Rijiju claimed, underlining his track record of tangible development initiatives across Arunachal Pradesh. Nobody demanded that there should be a highway to Koloriang in remote Kurung Kumey, a double-lane highway to Bameng, Khenewa and Lada in East Kameng, national highway to Tali, Pipsorang, Damin and Sarli in Kra Daadi district but all these projects are my voluntary concept which Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled as per my proposals and requests", the minister said. "In my next term, my focus will be to enhance the income of people, raise living standards, better economic policy, better commercial activities, and more manufacturing units, more employment generations and opportunities, skill development which will raise the happiness index among the people", he added.
