“The people of the state and county have felt the burns of fascist and intolerant policies of the BJP government. The popular demand of the public in Tawang was to conduct the panchayat elections as it is the agency which empowers the rural mass and sadly the same did not happen,” said Ete.
The Youth Congress president also asserted that the Congress has now shutdown its doors to the entire runaway MLAs of Tawang district once and for all.
“Congress gave everything to these MLAs, however, in spite of being faithful and constructive, they have played dirty politics and has been blaming the party since they left,” Ete said without naming anyone in particular.
The meeting later paid its tribute and condolence to the Tawang firing incident victims.
At least two persons had died and many others were injured when the police allegedly opened fire on people protesting against the arrest of a Buddhist monk at Tawang in May 2016.
On Tuesday, the APYC team celebrated the birth anniversary of its national president Rahul Gandhi at Manjushree Vidyapith School and Orphanage and distributed sweets, books and stationeries to the children.
