Its surprising to see more voter turnout in Arunachal than Maharashtra..:)

What a surprise! Almost 72% voter turnout was recorded in Arunachal Pradesh whereas only 60% in Maharashtra during today's Assembly elections. In a state like Arunachal Pradesh where there is hardly any kind of development, or which hardly get any kind of central government attention, people seem to have more faith in the political system than a state like Maharashtra, the capital of which is also the financial capital of the whole country. As a resident of the neighbouring state Assam, I always feel that North-Eastern states like Arunachal Pradesh are completely neglected by the Central Government in terms of infrastructure,transport, education, Industry and many others. It is needless to say that Arunachal has much better potential in terms of natural resources and tourism compared to most of the states in India. People become serious about Arunachal only when China says something related to Arunachal. It is quite well known that China claims several thousand square kilometers in Arunachal to be a part of its own territory which India always keeps denying. But instead of this cold war with China over Arunachal, I believe the Government should work more for the development of this state. Specially looking at such an impressive voter turnout which reflects the fact that people have faith in the great Indian Democracy there is absolutely no reason not to work for a better Arunachal.
