In his address, Nyamar Karbak offered a personal and political narrative of chief minister Pema Khandu’s journey, recalling his unopposed election from the Mukto Assembly Constituency in 2011 following the demise of his father.

“This golden period of governance has earned the unwavering trust of the people of Arunachal Pradesh,” he said.
Mithi also lauded the Central Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that Arunachal Pradesh had evolved from being viewed merely as a strategic frontier state to a “land of peace and development” under the BJP regime.
He cited the sanctioning of the Arunachal Frontier Highway as a landmark step in boosting connectivity and securing the state’s international borders.
The statement further noted that the state’s annual budget had grown from ₹9,000 crore in 2014 to ₹39,000 crore in 2025, reflecting the scale of economic and infrastructure development achieved during the BJP’s tenure.
