SHILLONG, Dec 12: The National People’s Party has lashed out at the state Congress for repeatedly requesting Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong to return to the grand old party. Tynsong had quit Congress five years ago and joined the NPP.
“It is very embarrassing for them to repeat (the plea) when Bah Prestone has very clearly said there is no question of going back to the party he left,” NPP national general secretary James PK Sangma said on Sunday.
The Congress, reduced to five MLAs after the defection of 12 to the All India Trinamool Congress, has been asking the leaders who had left the party in 2017-18 to return and work together for a “government of substance”.
The Congress is also trying to seek an audience with all the political parties to discuss the formation of a stable government post-2023 Assembly elections.
Asked about his reading on this move, Sangma said: “The Congress does not have any idea now on what to do and what to say.”
He declined to speculate when asked if there was any likelihood of the NPP and Congress working as allies.
“There is no point in speculating who we will work with and who we won’t. We believe in the present and how things will shape up in the immediate future,” he said.
Tynsong had said he would become the “number one fool” if he went back to the Congress. He also advised the five remaining Congress MLAs to abandon their party as it was a sinking ship.
