SHILLONG: Former deputy Chief Minister Rowell Lyngdoh said on Thursday the Mukul-Lapang combine will bring the downfall of the Congress in Meghalaya.
The statement assumes significance in the context of the suspension of Congress legislator from Mawsynram and KHADC chief PN Syiem and the growing dissatisfaction among senior Congress functionaries about the current state of affairs in the party.
Lyngdoh said since he was out of station, he did not have much information about the political situation, but came to know about the case of Syiem from media reports.
Lyngdoh and AL Hek were dropped from the cabinet on August 25 this year by Chief Minister Mukul Sangma to quell the rebellion within the Congress over the demand for change in leadership.
Since the reshuffle, Lyngdoh has been critical about the style of functioning of the chief minister and said the future of the Congress would be bleak under his regime.
However, Lyngdoh added on Thursday that he would talk to the Congress legislators about the manner in which the chief minister and the MPPC president are running the government and the party in the State.
“The combination of Mukul and Lapang will only lead to a disastrous result and this needs to be addressed by the legislators,” Lyngdoh said.
