In 2012-14 when large areas of tribal land were about to be acquired in Moreh, the problem was settled under the initiative of BJP leadership, he added.

Michael declared that in case he fails to get the people's mandate he will try to be an agent of proactive change.

He further said that he wanted to bring back the misguided youths to the mainstream while stating that there are villages under Henglep and 10 different tribes are inhabiting the area.
