“As a Lok Sabha MP from eastern Arunachal including East Siang district, I tried my level best to ease your sufferings and now, I am curious in serving you as an MLA to fulfil your needs,” Ering said in his address.

Notably, Ering took up issues of the state including Siang river contamination, erosion problem of Mebo area in East Siang with the central government.

He also moved the central government to pass the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2018’ for inclusion of Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa, Wancho and Yobin tribes of Arunachal Pradesh in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list.

The former MP (Congress) also said the people of East-Arunachal Parliamentary constituency are demanding a new face as their MP so that Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) is choosing former Arunachal minister Wanglet Lowangcha as MP candidate from the seat.

MP Ering, who was earlier elected two times as MP by defeating BJP heavyweight and former MP Tapir Gao, has pledged to help his party candidate Lowangcha to emerge winner in eastern parliamentary seat.
