Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Wednesday asserted that his government has adopted a firm stance against corruption, particularly condemning the influence of money in elections.
Addressing the Mega Alpkalin Vistarak training programme of the state BJP at the D K Convention Hall, Khandu emphasised the importance of instilling an anti-money culture at the grassroots level. He underscored the necessity to eliminate financial practices during elections and urged citizens to promote these values within their households.
Commending state BJP president Biyuram Wahge, state general secretary (organisation) Ananta Narayan Mishra, and their team for organising the extensive training programme, the chief minister expressed confidence that this initiative would strengthen the party in the state and raise awareness about government achievements.
Highlighting BJP’s role in state development, Khandu urged youths to join and strengthen the government for progress, crediting PM Modi’s dynamic leadership. Emphasising a lapse in public recognition of developmental activities, he urges Alpkalin and state Vistaraks to observe and report efforts at the grassroots level, motivating youth to join with constant awareness.
Wahge underscored the Pema Khandu government’s seven-year achievements, stressing the need to disseminate them at the grassroots level and recognising dedicated party workers.
