Addressing a press conference, Khandu, who was elected the state Congress leader in dramatic circumstances on Saturday, said "all projects undertaken by the previous regimes in the last four years will be fast tracked and thrust will be given to tourism, hydropower, agriculture and horticulture, health education and communication."
He said he would inculcate a âTeam Arunachal' spirit among elected leaders irrespective of party affiliations for overall development of the state. All elected leaders of the state would be made a part of the development process cutting across political parties.
On migration
Khandu at 37 is the youngest chief minister of the country, who said that he would make special effort to stop migration of people from border areas by providing all facilities with the help from the Centre under the Border Area Development Programme (BADP).
