The Meghalaya Power Minister, ‘Mr Grosswell Mylliemngap has scotched

rumours that the non-Congress (I) Ministers in the ruling- Meghalaya Democratic Front were joining the Congress (I).

He told the Shillong Times that he did not foresee any such possibility. Mr Mylliemngap said that he, together with some other Ministers, had attended the recent AICC (I) Plenary Session as an “invitee”. Explaining he said ”I had gone to Calcutta in connection with my son’s admission in engineering college. I took the chance to see for myself what the plenary session was all about.” Asked what would be the stand of the ”third force” (as represented by Ministers and MLAs who are neither with the Regional parties nor with the Congress-I) if a polarisation were to take place, Mr Mylliemngap said that they would explore the possibility of forming a new state based party.

He replied in the negative when asked if there was any possibility of the Government postponing the forthcoming District Council elections in Khasi Hills. “From what I have learnt about the Congress (I), they are highly democratic in their style of functioning, and I don’t see reason why District Council elections should be postponed”, he said.
