"When the state & central government is formulating policy to re-settle them, they must welcome the decision as they will get Citizenship and can live with dignity. But in Arunachal they will never get citizenship," he added.

"NPP(AP) will stand for Arunachal's aspirations, we are a 100% tribal state, so there should be reservations for the APST students in all the institutions over and beyond constitutionally mandated 7.5% ," he added.
When asked about NPP’s views of corruption in Sports department related to job reservation under Sports Quota , the Convenor  said "We appreciate the state government for  creating sports quota  to encourage our sportspersons, however, we are equally concerned over the reports of manipulation under the sports quota. The policy is good to encourage our sportsperson, but there should be strict vigil on fake certificates and punishment should be meted out to those involved in such manipulation."
