SHILLONG, Jan 5: The Congress legislators have left it to the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) to decide the party’s future strategy insofar as moving forward on the verdict of the Speaker, which held the merger of 12 Congress MLAs with All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) as valid, is concerned.
A party MLA, on request of anonymity, said that they have left it on the MPCC president, Vincent H Pala, to decide on the future course of action of the Congress.
The party is supposed to meet shortly to discuss the strategy on how to deal with the Speaker’s approval of the merger.
CLP leader Ampareen Lyngdoh, who had filed disqualification petitions with the Speaker, has made it clear that she would not follow up on the matter anymore.
Meanwhile, the party legislators have informed that the Congress MLAs and MDCs will be meeting here next week to deliberate over matters pertaining to strengthening the party in the state, especially in view of the Assembly elections, due in 2023.
