The Lok
Sabha fight is over. What remains are dismayed Congress and an overwhelmed BJP.
So, as the swearing in ceremony went by Congress were left disconsolate and
neglected even by its own allies. Amid such dismal performances at the centre it
seems all is not lost for Congress.
Against all odds there is a pillar of
strength standing tall at the far-East for them. Arunachal Pradesh the north
eastern state of India is unflared with the waves that captured the mood of
public all over India.
Though the
Congress and BJP shared two Lok Sabha seats, it was the assembly poll that
reflected the true sentiments of people. Congress retained its majority in the
simultaneously held Assembly elections with a vote share of 49.5 per cent.
Congress retained power for the third consecutive term after a landslide
victory winning, 42 seats in the 60-member Assembly in the just concluded
polls.
Veteran Congress leader Nabam Tuki was
sworn-in as the eighth Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh for the second
consecutive term. Behind the scene there was something in common between the
victory of Narendra Modi and Nabam Tuki i.e. was a is development model
ensuring growth of the state and an accessible Chief Minister who could listen
to grievances of his people and ensure
rapid solutions. Nabam Tuki during his election campaign talked about how his
development and good governance model fueled the growth of Arunachal Pradesh
and empowered people of the state.
His clean image and public connect gave him
an edge over his opponents. And with the changing trends and voters sentiments,
it’s the performance that wins you an electoral mandate. Development of
Arunachal Pradesh speaks volumes of Tuki’s ability as a Chief Minister. As per
empirical studies;
q
Overall
state domestic product registered a 14.4% increase between 2010 and 2013
q
Arunachal Pradesh is at Top with 177.9 $ Billion Investment in the industrial sector
Sector with the highest proportionate
increase in productivity are Banking and Insurance, which grew by
almost 24 % between 2010 and 2011 and 41.5 % between 2010 and 2013.
Ushering a new wave of development through a
slew of inventive initiatives Nabam Tuki led Congress government came out with
some comprehensive flagship programmes to achieve the goal of inclusive
development. These programmes included sector such as;
q
Chief Minister’s Skill Development Programme, aimed at improving employability in youth
and developing skills, alone generated 20,500
employments in previous year. Moreover the centre’s MGNREGS helped in
employment of more than 1 lakh people.
q
Agriculture & Allied Sector showed 9.2% rise in the total crop production
in 2012-13.
q
Chief Minister’s Paryatan Vikas Yojana, aimed at promoting tourism. Under this
project subsidized cabs were provided to unemployed youths to promote tourism
entrepreneurship, also the government is developing tourism infrastructure to
make Arunachal Pradesh a face of North East tourism.
q
Also
government has taken various initiatives to encourage quality education in the
state. Many awards have been announced to recognize the efforts of teachers and
schools.
Along with these initiatives Nabam Tuki
ensured frequent public presence which helped his image of a “common man”. The
agenda of development during the assembly polls and faith in the good
governance earned him the trust of the voters. His government delivered on all
possible fronts which made sure that people look up to him as an architect of
state’s development.
Now the new government’s top most priority
will be to work for development of all types of communication in the
land-locked hilly state, youth development and employment generation, and to
execute all the ongoing projects on health and education sectors. And it is
believed that the Nabam Tuki-led Congress government will continue to work for
the welfare of the common masses and take the State forward in terms of
development in all spheres.
