Stating that the party does not believe in using these things as election-time gimmicks, he said, “We don’t use emotions to polarize to create vice between people, we think every Indian citizen, every citizen of Meghalaya must work together. That is why the Prime Minister says, ‘It is only together as a community as a state that we can create a better tomorrow’.”

He said the present NDA-led government has dealt with issues that were lingering for 70-75 years and has solved those issues by sitting down with all those affected.
