SHILLONG: “There is a misconception that Congress will not come back to power. All the leaders who are leaving Congress will regret their decision after the Assembly elections,” Urban Affairs Minister and Congress spokesperson, Ronnie V Lyngdoh said.
The statement came from the Congress leader after Comingone Ymbon resigned as a Cabinet Minister on Monday to pave way for himself to join the National People’s Party (NPP).
“This is their personal decision and we can’t stop them, if they feel that they can serve better in other ways,” Lyngdoh said.
However, Congress leader felt that the leaders were leaving the Congress party for greener pastures, adding that these self-centric politicians had joined politics not for serving the people and the state but to look for greener pastures.
Maintaining that the resignation of Ymbon just few days before the Assembly session would not have any adverse effect on the Congress party, Lyngdoh said that the they should realise that they were given the mandate by the people as an MLA from Congress.
“They look for selfish goals and they will regret later,” he added.
