"In the Sankalp Patra, PM Narendra Modi has aimed for a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.

When asked about the rampant infrastructure boost in the border state, Khandu said, "Arunachal Pradesh is a challenging state. Work has been done to develop the infrastructure of the state, under the leadership of PM Modi in this tenure. In the next tenure of PM Modi, we aim to connect those villages which are not yet connected by roads."
