SHILLONG: Amidst the blame game over political appeasement and poaching of MLAs , the Ranikor Civil Sub division will be inaugurated on July 10 by the Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma.
The up gradation of Ranikor Administrative Block into a Civil Sub-division is in the news for some time now as earlier local MLA, MM Danggo had made it clear that he would resign from the Congress party and as an MLA the day when the Civil Sub division was inaugurated.
However, Danggo in a surprised move resigned much ahead of the inauguration of the block and he is likely to join the NPP
The decision of Danggo to resign as an MLA necessitated the need for a by poll and all the political parties have started preparing for the impending by-elections.
The entire political situation took a new turn in the state when Danggo expressed his desire to join NPP provided that the civil sub division was inaugurated when Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma visited Ranikor recently.
Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma had earlier denied that there was any political colour to the efforts of the State Government to declare Ranikor as a Civil Sub division.
Following the Government’s decision to upgrade Ranikor into a civil sub division, the National People’s Party (NPP) – led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government is facing a barrage of demands for the creation of new Civil Sub – divisions from several MLAs both from the ruling as well as Opposition parties.
