BJP will use NPP like a remote: Deborah

SHILLONG: Congress working president Deborah Marak has asserted that the BJP will use the NPP like a ‘remote control’ if Late P.A. Sangma’s party is voted to power in the upcoming Tura by-poll.
Speaking to The Shillong Times on Sunday, Marak said the RSS uses BJP like its ‘remote’ and BJP will use NPP as its ‘remote’ if NPP is elected in Tura.
“If people press the wrong button, then we don’t know where we will go. People should click the button carefully,” Marak said, adding that Meghalaya is a state of minorities and many problems will come for minorities in the State if people vote for the BJP-NPP coalition.
Reacting to a query about Garo Hills which was the stronghold of Late P.A. Sangma, Marak said that people of Garo Hills voted for Late PA Sangma since the first day of his political career and till the time when he died, but now history will be rewritten.
She also added that Mukul Sangma is the tallest and strongest leader not only in Garo Hills but in the whole of Meghalaya and his wife Dikkanchi Shira is also from a political background with politics running in her blood.
According to Marak, Congress is an old party which has contributed largely to the development of the State and it even gave Meghalaya its ‘statehood’.
The Tura by-poll will witness a direct fight between Conrad Sangma and Dikkanchi Shira.
