“The party is placed well to garner no less than 50 seats. Even this number could go up,” Tuki claimed.
On formation of the government, the PCC chief made it clear that the Congress would form the government on its own with an absolute majority.
“We are going to form the next government without going into any post-poll alliance with Congress’ allies at the Centre – NCP and Trinamool Congress. In no eventuality, we will form alliances with either NCP or TMC,” he asserted.
He claimed that the emergence of new political parties in political scenario of Arunachal like TMC, JD(U) and the ‘revived’ regional party, PPA would not split vote banks of Congress.
Commenting on NCP’s role in poll-bound Arunachal, Tuki further claimed that though NCP is an ally of Congress-led UPA at the Centre it was trying to malign the image of Congress with baseless allegations.
Refuting the allegations by the opposition BJP, the State Congress supremo said it is only the Congress that’s responsible to bring development to the State. “It’s only due to our effort that has made realise the Prime Minister’s package of Rs 24,000 crore for Arunachal Pradesh. It’s only the Congress that has paved the way for overall development of the State,” he said.
Queried on whether the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations will play a role to Congress’ advantage in the forthcoming polls, Tuki nodded in the positive.
