ITANAGAR, March 13 – Projecting himself as an “agent of change”, Kiren Rijiju, the BJP’s candidate for Arunachal West Parliamentary seat, said that the April 16 general elections in the State will be a battle royale to eke-out an ideological existence for the party.

He said the ensuing battle of ballots will set a right tone to bring to an end the “corrupt” regime of Congress in the State.

Avowing that “money versus performance” will be the main poll plank of the Saffron Brigade in the State, Rijiju said, “Gone are the days when the electorate were used to be purchased by money or overpowered by oppressive means but voters in the State have become wise enough to reject such evil designs of Congress.”

Rijiju said, “The electoral process in Arunachal Pradesh has been reduced to a money distribution process at the hands of power-hungry successive Congress Governments in the State.”

“Unlike the Congress, BJP depends on performance-based politics, not money and muscle-centric politics,” said Rijiju at a press meet here today.

He said the call for change in corrupt political culture of State is coming from the people of rural Arunachal, adding that majority people of the State have already made their minds for a change.

“The people today have come out from the shackles of dirty politics of the power-crazy Congress and will dislodge the party from power at the Centre, thereby facilitating the NDA to come back,” he said.
