Arunachal: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, who seemed to be a bit nostalgic after his arrival here under East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh, on Thursday said his family had a long relationship with the state. ''My family has a long relationship with Arunachal Pradesh and I want to keep this legacy alive,'' the youth leader said in an emotional note while addressing an election rally.
He said the people of this Himalayan state were deeply attached with the Nehru-Gandhi family and hence he always felt excited to meet them.
Recalling Congress' contribution to Arunachal, Mr Gandhi said the concern of the party for this state was still continuing and the Rs 22,000 crore developmental package announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his maiden visit to the state last year bears testimony to it.
''We want Arunachal to develop at par with other states of the country,'' he iterated.
Appreciating the people for their hospitality, Mr Gandhi expressed confidence that the people would continue to support the Congress and help it to form the next government at the Centre.
''Vote for our two Congress candidates so that they would be able to impress upon the Centre for sanctioning more developmental funds,'' he pointed out, adding the Congress government, both at the Centre and Arunachal, would help the state to move ahead towards development.
Lashing out at the opposition BJP, the youth leader pointed out that the announcement made by former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani regarding various projects, including 500-bed referral hospital at Naharlagun, failed to materialise.
But the announcements made by the Congress so far for Arunachal were implemented in toto, he averred. (UNI)
