Turning to the challenges of the constituency, he said that 80 per cent of the constituents are farmers and said that he would put agricultural development as a priority, cottage and small scale industries, education were in the lists of his development activities.
Asked on the position of Mawhati’s former legislator, Julius Dorphang who is currently in jail, Tyngshain said, “It is the mandate of the people, if he (Dorphang) is re-elected. I leave it to the wisdom of the people.”
