Connectivity biggest challenge for Arunachal: Pema Khandu

In a setback for Congress Party, all except one MLAs, including Chief Minister Pema Khandu, on Friday joined the People’s Party (PPA) of Arunachal Pradesh. As reported by Hindu, Khandu who had two months ago became Chief Minister in a development that restored the Congress government, along with 43 Congress MLAs, joined the PPA and virtually converted it into a PPA government.

Nabam Tuki is the only MLA who has stayed with the Congress and it is to be seen if the newly formed PPA will align with the BJP, which has 11 MLAs in the House. There are two independents in the Assembly of 60.

The status of two Congress MLAs is yet to be decided as they resigned before the political developments that led to the first Tuki government falling in January 2016, the imposition of President’s rule and the installation of the Kalikho Pul government for a short period.

Pul, a Congress MLA, committed suicide last month. He was forced to resign in July following a Supreme Court judgement
