Meanwhile, earlier this week, over 2,000 people joined the Congress in Kanubari in Longding district, one of the largest political mobilizations in recent years in the Arunachal Pradesh district.
The mass joining is being seen as a show of strength for the party led by APCC president Bosiram Siram and party leader Pangjam Wangsa in the northeastern state.

Supporters from Changlang, Tirap and Longding districts attended the meeting. Local leaders including Kehang Social, Pinna Kitnal Singpho and Tekwa Tangse were also present.
APCC president Bosiram Siram had said that the voting “reflects a new confidence in the Congress’ vision of peace, development and inclusive governance.”
He welcomed the new members and described their decision as a “vote of confidence” for the party’s return to grassroots politics.
The rally also coincides with the Congress’s ongoing “Vote Chori” (vote theft) signature campaign, a nationwide protest against alleged electoral malpractices.
Congress leaders stressed the need to protect democratic processes and urged party workers and supporters to support the campaign.
