NONGSTOIN: Former Minister Irene Lyngdoh, who was denied ticket by Congress for the upcoming Assembly elections, has thrown her hat in the electoral battle as independent.

Announcing this before a huge gathering at Nongshillong, West Khasi Hills on Wednesday, she said “It is now immaterial whether I am contesting from Congress or as an Independent, all the MLAs enjoy same power.”

“What matters now is people’s love and support,” she said. The meeting was called by Mrs Lyngdoh to announce her decision formally. She said respecting wishes of the people of the area she decided to join the fray.

Stating that Congress not only deceived her but also the people of Mawthadraishan, she predicted that Dy CM Rowell Lyngdoh will bite the dust in the 2013 polls.
