Itanagar, Mar 2 (UNI) The Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) today congratulated party chief Sonia Gandhi and other central leaders for giving clear nod to Chief Minister Gegong Apang for inducting three legislators into his council of ministers.

The party in a statement while congratulating Mr Apang for building a complete cabinet team said the MLAs were inducted into the cabinet basing on their experience and political acumen.
