SHILLONG: The chief minister on Wednesday accused Prestone Tynsong, former PHE minister and other former ministers, of dereliction of duty by saying a minister’s post is for responsible people.
Mukul Sangma said Tynsong and others frequently travelled to Kolkata and wondered what the need was for the trips.
“File an RTI and see how many times Prestone and others went to Kolkata. What job do they have in Kolkata? Who is waiting for them there,” he said, adding that the post of the Minister is vested with the responsibility of the future of the state.
“It is a serious business and if the chief minister does not understand the seriousness, the state will go to the dogs and I will not allow that when I am holding the responsibility of chief minister,” he added.
