Naming of a viewpoint can’t be the agenda of a party like BJP: Kharkrang 

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJune 24, 2025

BJP Meghalaya Chief Spokesperson M Kharkrang on Tuesday said the party has no connection with a recent proposal to establish a ‘Raja Memorial Viewpoint’ in Sohra. 

The proposal was made by James Syiemiong, who claimed to be a senior BJP member, in a letter to the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday.

Kharkrang stated that Syiemiong’s viewpoint is personal and not reflective of the party’s agenda. “The naming of a viewpoint has not been discussed in the party at any level, at any time,” he emphasized. The use of the BJP symbol on Syiemiong’s letter does not imply that it is an official party document,” he said.
