In the past Congress never took this type of step in any state but this time it happened in Meghalaya. In Meghalaya, support for the Nationalist People’s Party (NPP) signals the right-wing government. Former Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Sunday condemned the move by the author of ‘Maha Beini’. At his request, the support betrayed the people of Meghalaya with a message of support.
Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee also opened her mouth about the Meghalaya incident after casting her vote in the municipal elections in Kolkata on Sunday. “Everyone saw what the Congress did in Meghalaya,” he said.
The BJP is one of the parties supporting the government of Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma. The NPP, led by Conrad has long been a partner in this state BJP-led North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA). In this context, a meeting of the Meghalaya Congress parliamentary party on Saturday decided to “issue support” to the Conrad government.
In addition to the five Congress MLAs, the meeting was also attended by the acting president of the provincial Congress, Amparin Lindo. However, it is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
