Good to see Congress making leadership changes in Arunachal. The northeast needs strong regional voices. Hope Mr. Siram can revive Congress fortunes there after recent electoral setbacks. 🤞

Interesting appointment! As someone from Assam, I know how crucial the northeast is for national politics. Hope this brings fresh energy to Congress in Arunachal Pradesh. The party needs to focus more on development issues there.

While leadership changes are good, Congress needs to do more than just reshuffle posts. They should present concrete plans for Arunachal's infrastructure and border security, especially given China's activities in the region.

As an Arunachali, I welcome this change! Siram ji has good grassroots connect in Pasighat. But Congress needs to work harder - BJP has made deep inroads here. Development should be priority, not just politics.

All these appointments won't matter unless Congress fixes its national leadership crisis first. Why can't they project one clear face for 2024 elections? Regional changes are good but need strong central leadership.

Hope the new team focuses on youth empowerment in Arunachal! So many talented young people there need opportunities. Also, better connectivity would help integrate the state more with mainland India. 🚀
