SHILLONG: Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma has downplayed the murmurs about dropping of BJP MLAs from the  MDA saying there is no such demand from UDP to drop BJP from the coalition though such statements have been made by certain individuals.

Earlier UDP vice president Allantry Dkhar had claimed that UDP and other partners   of the MDA were not comfortable working with BJP ever since the fiasco of Citizenship Amendment Bill rocked the Northeastern states.

The UDP leader had maintained that the BJP should be dropped from the alliance as UDP and other partners are not comfortable working with BJP.

The MDA coalition is currently supported by two BJP MLAs Sanbor Shullai  and A L Hek who is also a Cabinet minister.

Talking to newsmen here on Thursday , Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said that the NPP was clear that it would break it ties  with NDA  if the union Government  went ahead with  CAB   but the Bill was not passed.

” We should also respect that the two BJP MLAs have supported our resolution again the CAB and they are against the Bill,”  he said while adding that the chapter is closed and there، is no need to discuss it.

Responding to a query about the UDP leaders being uncomfortable with BJP, he said that the matter pertaining to UDP  leaders  being uncomfortable  would be discussed in the meeting and issues would be sorted out.
