Arunachal Democratic Party Merges with Congress: A New Political Chapter

The Arunachal Democratic Party has merged with Congress, driven by ideological conviction. The merger won't affect Congress's assembly strength, but it signifies a commitment to democracy and constitutional values. Key issues raised include hydropower projects, mining, and governance crises.

The Arunachal Democratic Party (ADP) officially merged into the Congress (INC) this Monday, signifying a significant ideological shift in the state's political landscape.

ADP members, led by President Tami Pangu, joined the Congress en masse at an induction ceremony marked by dedications to democratic and constitutional values, although it will not enhance Congress's assembly strength.

Key issues such as hydropower project reviews, mining, unemployment, and governance crises were highlighted, with assurances of equal responsibility within Congress's fold, as praised by former CM Gegong Apang.
