SHILLONG: UDP leader Allantry F Dkhar has said regrouping of the northeastern political parties in Guwahati recently has left the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) without any regional party.
Dkhar also said the party, which has no MP, is not part of the NDA as the latter is a parliamentary alliance.
Criticising national parties, he urged people not to fall prey to their propaganda as they are concerned only about vote bank and not wellbeing of the state’s population. He refuted claims that the Congress is the only party that can fight against the CAB, terming it as another opportunistic ploy to fool the electorate.
“The electorate know that if all the northeastern states were under regional party’s regime, the Centre would have not dared, but going by the history of how the northeastern states vote national parties to power, the Union government has seized the opportunity,” Dkhar said.
