The APCC vice-president Minkir Lollen accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of giving a โ€œcommunal colourโ€ to Indian politics, not respecting diverse food culture, forcibly implementing exclusion in the education system, caste and cow politics. โ€œModi has sold national integration and security to France by committing the biggest scam (Rafale) of Independent India,โ€ he said.

Encouraging the women of the constituency, AIMCC General Secretary Jarjum Ete said that the nation may progress without women but โ€œdevelopment with its full potential is where women leadership is encouragedโ€. She urged young women to take part in Project Shakti of Mahila Congress and to agitate against Modiโ€™s โ€œcrooked policyโ€ of price rise in essential products such as milk, LPG, petrol and diesel.
