The 83rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2000 had been remarkable for Arunachal Pradesh; as the Act passed by the Parliament of India and which came with retrospective effect from the April 24, 1993, contained that nothing in Article 243D relating to reservation of seats for scheduled caste shall apply to the State of Arunachal Pradesh as it is cent per-cent tribal State.

Thus, subsequently, the Arunachal  Pradesh Panchayati Raj Bill, 1997 was duly passed by the Arunachal Pradesh State Legislative Assembly received the assent of the President of India on 13 April 2001(Act no.5 of 2001).

The temporary settlers and refugee in the State has been settled with specific previledge, with no equal sharing of rights with indigenous people.

Moreover, even the Arunachal Pradesh Land Settlement Act, 2000 describe; residents mean an indigenous person ordinarily residing in a village or area; Therefore, there is no space for the participation of non-indigenous in local body elections.
