Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 27, 2023

Opposition AITC legislature party leader and leader of opposition Mukul Sangma on Friday alleged that the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government of being a “puppet government”  

“This NPP-led MDA government is being run by those sitting in Delhi. From February 27, we will use our powers to unite and govern this beautiful hill state based on law and order with a sheer understanding of the necessities and concerns of every household of Meghalaya,” Sangma said.

He was addressing a gathering held at Chotcholja Ground in North Garo Hills District.

Assuring that the party is committed to implement its 10 pledges, which were announced last week, Sangma said, “Meghalaya TMC takes pride to declare that we launched the manifesto before other parties. For everyone who thinks about what we will do after forming the government in the state, we have promised 10 pledges covering education, health, infrastructure, opportunities for the traders, and other signature initiatives.”

In another event held at Resubelpara, the leader of opposition urged the people of the state to join hands and ensure the holistic welfare of Meghalaya.

“The purpose of an elected representative is to build a state where people can live in peace and future generations live without worry or hassle. This is our state and we need to come forward with a united front to run our state. We have all been victims of the nefarious NPP-led MDA regime. One should use the knowledge given by God to discern and choose who should be elected. One should prevision the consequences that will transpire in the future if we do not unite our state now,” Dr Sangma said, while issuing earnest appeals for “unity and oneness.”
