SHILLONG: Former Speaker of Meghalaya Legislative Assembly and Congress candidate from Nongthymmai, Charles Pyngrope has exuded confidence that the saffron BJP will not make much impact in Meghalaya.
Talking to media persons at Diengpassoh during a public meeting, he said that the BJP with just few weeks more for the election would not be able to make much impact in the state
“In fact people are leaning towards Congress.. I am not saying this because I am a Congress candidate but this is a fact,” he said.
On being asked about the money power, he said that the other parties had their means but in Nongthymmai constituency, money power had not played a major role in elections.
The Congress leader while denying the allegations that Congress ever used the Church to win polls added that Congress was a secular party.
According to Pyngrope, the Congress still expects to cross over 30-32 seats in the upcoming polls while maintaining that there is no anti-incumbency factor against the Congress in the state.
When asked about Nongthymmai constituency, he said, “I am confident but we will have to work hard.”
