Miani Selsella gaffe annoys voters

TURA: It was perhaps not the kind of beginning that the father-daughter duo was looking forward to. But for former chief minister Mukul Sangma’s daughter Miani D Shira, it was a typical foot in the mouth syndrome.
In a video that has since gone viral, the Mukul scion, after filing her nomination for the constituency, addressed a rally in Ampati where she allegedly dismissed the Selsella electorate as “less intelligent” than those in Ampati.
While fortune may favour the brave it does not spare the brash as the barb intended for the present chief minister and NPP leader Conrad Sangma, once a legislator from Selsella, has not gone down well with the people of Selsella who have taken umbrage at the greenhorn’s callous remarks.
A little fact check would have informed the young candidate that at present, Clement Marak of the Congress represents Selsella constituency.
An angry resident of Selsella, Adinson Ch Momin, is among the many who condemned her myopic and partisan attitude and demanded an apology from the aspiring candidate who seeks to make good the dwindling Congress fortunes from Ampati. Social media users have also lampooned the “off the cuff” remarks with many questioning the rationale behind it and asking the Congress aspirant to apologise for the same.
