Pala’s reconciliation attempt fails

SHILLONG: The Congress had made a last ditch effort to bring back the rebel party legislators to its fold, but in vain as it was too late.
The newly appointed working president of Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC), Vincent Pala said he had a meeting with all the rebel legislators and requested them to come back to Congress.
According to Pala, the stand of the legislators was that it was too late to come back to the party.
“I tried my best to convince the leaders who had left the party, but for them the reconciliation process was too late”, Pala said.
Congress leaders, P N Syiem, who joined PDF, Rowell Lyngdoh, Sniawbhalang Dhar, Comingone Ymbon, Prestone Tynsong and Ngaitlang Dhar, who joined NPP, left the party expressing displeasure over the style and functioning of the Chief Minister Mukul Sangma.
Rowell had said in the past that the legislators and the party workers did not have any problem with the Congress, but the real issue was the leader of the Congress Legislature Party, while alleging that neither the former MPCC president DD Lapang nor the AICC addressed the concerns of the legislators.
