NPP resents MDA allies ‘turning sour’

SHILLONG/ NONGSTOIN, Jan 29: The NPP has expressed strong resentment against its allies in the MDA coalition trying to target the party.
“What is most upsetting is the fact that allies turn sour. But political twists and turns are not unusual in our state,” NPP spokesperson Ampareen Lyngdoh said while responding to a query on how the allies in the MDA are cornering the NPP.
Stating that the NPP expected this to happen, Lyngdoh said the party has been ready with apt responses to all the critics.
“The NPP has now matured and we are able to handle this unfounded anger that we as a party are experiencing,” she said.
According to her, the NPP needs to tolerate this with courage and foresight.
“We have to also adjust to prepare for any political adjustments that may arise in the future,” she added.
It is pertinent to note here that the coalition partners such as the BJP, UDP and others have been found pointing fingers at the NPP over several anomalies and irregularities that have been reported during the tenure of the MDA Government despite being a part of the government.
