SHILLONG: National People’s Party (NPP) leader Prestone Tynsong maintained that he did not aspire to become the Chief Minister of the state but wanted to see changes in the state.

 

He was addressing a public rally organised by the NPP Pynursla Block committee at Wahlyngkhat ground, Pynursla on Saturday.

 

Quashing speculations that he wants to be the CM, which made him leave the Congress party, he said that if it was the will of God for him to take over the Chief Ministerial seat, he would serve the public with the guidance of God.

 

Tynsong pointed to there had been many criticisms against the MLAs (Sniawbhalang Dhar, Comingone Ymbon, Rowell Lyngdoh, Ngaitlang Dhar of Congress, Remington Pyngrope from UDP and independents Stephanson Mukhim and Hopeful Bamon) who had switched over to NPP camp. “No matter how much we are criticized, we will get stronger,” he said.

 

Informing the gathering that the NPP will release the party manifesto on February 3, he said that the manifesto would prioritize the struggles of the farmers, daily wage labourers etc.

 

On the other hand, Tynsong urged his supporters to refrain from poll violence and said “You should be cool and calm and maintain your dignity.”

 

With the date of elections round the corner, he told his supporters that there were many places where the candidates would go to spend time with.

 

Meanwhile, WR Kharlukhi said that Pynursla constituency had produced a Chief Minister in BB Lyngdoh while projecting Tynsong as another chief ministerial candidate from Pynursla.

 

The Dhar brothers, Stephanson Mukhim, Remington Pyngrope who spoke in the public meeting also rallied behind Tynsong as the CM candidate.
