SHILLONG: Former Minister KK Dkhar has slammed Forest and Environment Minister Prestone Tynsong for attempting to mislead people by claiming that the latter had sent feelers expressing his keenness to work with him after the 2013 Assembly polls.
Terming it as a biggest joke he had ever heard, Dkhar, while reacting to a news report appeared in a section of the Press, on Thursday said that he never received any such feeler from Tynsong.
Dkhar while quitting Congress recently had said that Tynsong during the last Assembly election lodged a complaint against him before the MPCC saying that two-time MLA from Nongskhen Constituency was working against the official candidate (Tynsong).
“A complaint cannot be taken as a feeler for working together,” Dkhar said jokingly.
The former Congress Minister said that if he was really against Tynsong then he would have contested against him in 2013 after being denied the party ticket.
While coming down heavily on the MPCC working President Deborah Marak, who wanted Dkhar to reveal the names of the leaders of the party who were more concerned with their personal gain, former Congress leader said, “Being the working president, she should have inside about the ongoing rumblings within the party.”
Dkhar had recently resigned from the party after a long association of 26 years.
