Sonowal described the BJP as the only party dedicated to inclusive development, equality, and prosperity for all. “Under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the BJP-led NDA government has delivered a decade of transformative governance, turning dreams into reality. Unlike previous regimes plagued by corruption and mismanagement, we have built a strong and thriving India recognized globally,” he said.
Calling Arunachal the “Land of the Rising Sun,” Sarbananda Sonowal praised the peace and progress the state has achieved. “From tourism to infrastructure and cultural preservation, Arunachal has entered a new era. The Modi government’s initiatives have improved the quality of life for people across the country, enabling everyone to live with dignity and opportunity,” Sonowal added.
