TURA, Feb 24: Former Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) CEM and president of the Bajendoba Block Congress Committee, Winsang Sangma, along with 15 other members, on Wednesday resigned from their posts, expressing discontent with the allotment of a party ticket for 24-Bolsong GDC constituency.
According to Sangma, he, along with other members, tendered their resignations after the Congress gave the party ticket to one Manseng Momin, who is not from the area.
“Momin is not a voter of the 24-Bolsong GDC constituency. He is from Rongjeng but the ticket has been allotted to him, against which we stand together,” Sangma said in the resignation letter.
