SHILLONG: Former Mawkynrew Youth Congress president Harkim Warjri who recently quit the party and joined the UDP and is presently supporting sitting MDC and UDP candidate Remington Pyngrope from Mawkynrew constituency in the upcoming district election, on Tuesday said that the slogan for this election should be ‘No ILP No Congress’.
“The Congress party has shown its true colour by going against the wishes of the people. Even while allotting the party tickets, the Congress leaders chose to undermine the voices of the party workers at the grassroots level,” Warjri said while taking to newsmen here on Tuesday.
Expressing his strong reservation over the allotment of the party ticket to Banteidor Lyngdoh, Warjri said that the party should have given the ticket to the Mawkynrew Block Congress Committee (MBCC) leader Drola Khongjoh who had contested the last Assembly election on a Congress ticket.
“Instead of a loyal party man, the Congress leadership has preferred to give a ticket to a businessman from Shillong who is clueless about the problems faced by the people of the constituency,” the former Congressman said.
He also asserted that the Congress will suffer a setback since Khongjoh has quit the party along with a huge number of his supporters and is presently supporting Pyngrope.
