	Uphill task for Apang
		Whatever be the Congress' interpretation, the fact remains that the BJP has succeeded in making inroads into the Congress bastion by winning nine seats, when it failed to win a single seat in the 1999 Assembly elections despite a poll alliance with Gegong Apang-led Arunachal Congress.
		Congress sources said that Mithi lost his bargaining power to stake claim to the chief ministership as only six of his 16 hardcore loyalists, known as "super sixteen" in party circles, could win.
		Arunachal Pradesh is considered the powerhouse of the country with a hydropower potential of 49,000 MW.

	A defection drama
		Mithi broke away from the Arunachal Congress and formed the Arunachal Congress(M) the next year with the support of 40 MLAs.
		Mithi stated that he would not accept Apang's claim to chief ministership and that there should be a trial of strength on the floor of the House.
		The Congress leadership, which believes that the NDA has begun resorting to the "narrow politics of dislodging Congress governments for petty gains", fears that similar moves may be made in other Congress-ruled States such as Manipur and Meghalaya.

	States: Arunachal Pradesh: Fall of the Titan
		After reigning supreme for 19 years over the affairs of Arunachal Pradesh, Apang -- the country's longest serving chief minister after veteran West Bengal leader Jyoti Basu -- was bundled out ignominiously when his Arunachal Congress (AC) lost the vote of confidence in the 60-member state Assembly on January 18.
		Mithi, 47, was sworn in the state's fourth chief minister a day later.
		In September 1996, Apang broke away from the Congress to launch the AC, which is now a part of the ruling coalition at the Centre.

	Welcome to Sentinel
		It was in August 2003 that Mukut Mithi-led Congress Government had been toppled by Apang splitting the party to create Congress(D) which ultimately merged with BJP thus giving a high-profile presence to the saffron party in the State.
		Apang, however, rejoined Congress soon after NDA was voted out of power at the Centre after a gap of eight years since quitting the party and forming Arunachal Congress in 1996.
		When asked if Apang’s leaving Congress for a short while and joining BJP to topple his government was a handicap for Apang, Mithi said he had no objection to any decision taken by the new MLAs and the high command.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Frontpage
		Arunachal Pradesh is one of the most politically volatile states in the country, where governments have changed overnight.
		Mithi has been at the centre stage of almost all the political dramas that have taken place in recent times and is seen as the only threat to Apang, who himself resorted to political skulduggery to wrest the hot seat in 2003.
		Mithi lobbied hard for the deputy chief minister’s post, but was denied the office as the high command felt that it could lead to two power centres in the government.

	Mithi-led Congress voted out from power - Sify.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Mithi's government was reduced to a minority on July 27 when 31 Congress MLAs broke ranks and joined hands with Apang to form the United Democratic Front alliance to stake claim to form the government.
		Mithi, who had fuelled dissidence in 1999 which had led to the downfall of Gegong Apangs Arunachal Congress government, took a dig at the Centre for its silence about the developments in a sensitive state which was of serious concern for the security of the nation.
		Mithi's government was reduced to a minority on July 27 after desertions by party MLAs who formed the Congress D and joined hands with two associate and two unattached members and the sole Arunachal Congressmember in Gegong Apang to set up the United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		Against this background, Mukut Mithi, known for his refinement and cultivated manners, was said to have been persuaded by his colleagues to hold the reins of the state.
		Arunachal, by virtue of its geography, history, socio-economic trends, is more inclined to a personality centred politics than the politics powered by modern dynamics.
		While the Congress was alleging at the top of its voice that the BJP had a visible hand in toppling the Mithi government, the state BJP had, strangely, remained silent.
