Arunachal Pradesh Very Much Part of India, Says Rahul
October 15, 2009 Visionmp.com news service
Two days after China’s protest against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh, congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that the state is very much part of India.
Talking to reporters in Ranchi, Gandhi said that Arunachal Pradesh is an Indian state just as Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand etc and his attitude towards all states is the same and it would not be changed.
Rahul Gandhi has said that the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) will work only if state governments implement it well. "In Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Assam and many other states it is implemented well and there are others where it's not. Therefore there is no chance of corruption eroding the scheme if the state government intends to implement it well," Rahul, who is in Ranchi on a two-day visit, said at a press conference. "The central government designs programmes and sends money and can put pressure on the state governments up to a certain extent. If the state government is not interested then we can't do much," he said.
“For me Arunachal Pradesh is like any other state. It does’nt make any difference,” he said.
He made this statement while answering to the query as to how he would reinforce the Youth Congress in Arunachal when China was objecting to the Prime Minister’s visit there.
Gandhi did not reply to another question on how ties with China would improve when Beijing was raising such an objection.
