“This is my maiden visit to Payeng circle and I admit it has not developed as it should have being one of the oldest administrative circles of the state government. May be there was not a proper plan. May be political will at the highest level was not the strongest. But I promise this will change,” he said.

Reacting to one previous speaker – Tara Payeng, the first Tagin MLA, who was instrumental in creation of the circle headquarters – Khandu acknowledged his sentiments on underdevelopment of the region. He assured Payeng that the veteran will be a living witness to the transformation that the area will undergo in a few years from now.

“Every public representative’s heart beats for his or her constituency. Payengji, the first MLA of the region, has the right to resent the lack of development of the area he represented in the legislative assembly. May god give you good health and witness the change you always wanted,” he said.

Khandu assured that his priority will be to provide all requisite infrastructure and manpower to both the circles – Payeng and the newly announced Lab-le.

Pointing that Arunachal’s slow pace of development before 2014 was due to the then central government’s lackadaisical attitude towards the North East, he hailed the NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the region’s unprecedented transformation.

“Narendra Modi’s outlook towards North East is completely different. There’s no policy, program or budget prepared today without including the North East. The difference it has made can be seen,” he remarked.

Mentioning that the assembly elections are just round the corner, Khandu sought support and cooperation from the people to maintain the accelerated pace of development across the state.
