SHILLONG:   Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has downplayed reported dissidence in the ruling Congress saying “there is an inherent mechanism within the party to resolve the differences”.
Sangma’s statement assumes significance in view reports about several Congress ministers, MLAs and senior leaders demanding change of leadership.
Terming it (dissidence) as an internal affair of the party, the chief minister told reporters here on Wednesday that the party’s inherent mechanism will be able to end the discord.
The AICC on Tuesday decided to summon the Congress legislators to Delhi to discuss the state leadership issue raked up after the debacle of the party candidate Dikkanchi Shira in the recently concluded Tura Lok Sabha polls.
Referring to the party’s debacle in Tura by-poll, he said the party in the past had gone through worst kind of situations in Garo Hills. “Congress can overcome such situations easily,” he said.
“More than the sympathy, opposition’s distasteful misinformation campaign accusing the Government of misusing funds  and delay in payment the wages under MNREGA led to the party’s defeat in Tura,” he said.
“We had put pressure on the Union Government for the release of wages,” he said.
