The Independent legislators have made it clear that though they had supported NPP leader PA  Sangma in the Lok Sabha polls, they would not support NPP in the GHADC  polls as the party  NPP did not respect the coalition spirit .
“Besides Independents, we may support either UDP or even NCP, but never NPP”, Saleng added.
Earlier, Saleng had criticized NPP for disregarding MPF and suddenly announcing the names of the party candidates for GHADC polls.
Salneg said that he had wished that there would  have been some understanding among the coalition partners in the Opposition during the GHADC polls.
