Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu urges people to shun 'money culture' during elections

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has called upon the people of the State to join his campaign against 'money culture' during elections in the State.

Addressing a public meeting at Yachuli in Lower Subansiri district on September 20, the Chief Minister urged the people to elect leaders 'based on performance' and 'not through money culture' in the Assembly elections, due next year.

"We always complain against corruption. But have we ever thought where it begins? It begins when a voter casts his or her valuable vote in exchange of money. Unfortunately, in our State, the candidate who pumps out the most cash, wins the election. This must be stopped," he said.
