Arunachal West seat 'set' to see multi-cornered contest

Itanagar, Apr 7 (UNI) Voting for the two Parliamentary constituencies in the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh Arunachal West and Arunachal East will be held in the first of the seven-phase polls on April 19.
The Arunachal West Lok Sabha constituency, consisting of 33 Assembly segments, is ‘set’ to witness a multi-cornered contest. However, the fight for the prestigious seat is likely to be between the grand old Indian National Congress and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Union Minister and sitting BJP MP Kiren Rijiju, 53, who is seeking re-election from the Arunachal West seat for the fourth time, will face the main contest from the Congress nominee and two-time Chief Minister Nabam Tuki.
