Exuding confidence in the BJP's poll prospects in Arunachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said on Saturday that voters will help the saffron party accomplish its mission of "60 plus two" in the state.

"We have a target of winning all the seats and the BJPs mission is 60 plus two," Khandu said while addressing an election rally here in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP has already opened its account in the state with three candidates declared elected unopposed in the 60-member Assembly.

"Overwhelmed with the development trajectory initiated by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre and the state government, the voters will help the party to accomplish its mission of 60 plus two in the state and vote the BJP to power again," he said.

Arunachal Pradesh is going to simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly polls on April 11.

Mentioning that the BJP had weakened the base of the Congress in Arunachal Pradesh, Khandu said, "The Congress, which had ruled the state for several decades, was unable to find strong and suitable candidates for which it fielded candidates only in 46 assembly seats."
