SHILLONG: The beleaguered Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Meghalaya suffered a yet another setback on Thursday after the party’s Central observer Robert Kharshiing tendered his resignation from the party.
In his resignation letter forwarded to the NCP’s national president Sharad Pawar, Kharshiing cited his poor health condition as the reason behind his quitting the party.
Only a few days back 11 NCP legislators had merged with the National People’s Party headed by Purno A Sangma.
Kharshiing, who is a diabetic, said his sugar level had gone up soon after he took up the assignment as the party’s Central observer.
“The hurly-burly of election politics do not permit this as elections in Meghalaya are due in 5 months time and my health just cannot take the strain,” the letter added.
