The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to join Chief Minister Pema Khandu led-Peoples Party of Arunachal (PPA) on Friday. BJP leader Tamiyo Taga will be included in the cabinet.

Arunachal Pradesh will become 14^th state in the country where BJP is in ruling government. It is also 6^th state where BJP has joined hands with regional parties.
