Shillong, Sept 24: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong has termed the recent cabinet reshuffle as a normal occurrence in politics aimed at benefiting the state as a whole.

“Reshuffling happens everywhere and every now and then, and everywhere in India. So, it is not a new thing,” Tynsong told reporters on Wednesday while stating that the decision to reshuffle the cabinet rests solely with Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma.

“We leave it to the wisdom of the Chief Minister because this is the prerogative of the CM as far as our party NPP is concerned,” he said.

Regarding the coalition partners, Tynsong stated that the NPP respects the decisions made by other parties in the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government.

“We leave it to the wisdom of their (respective) party, which one they want to drop, which one they want to induct, or which one they want to make a minister,” he added.

While acknowledging that those who were dropped from the cabinet might have “sad and bad feelings,” Tynsong however expressed confidence that the decisions were made for the benefit of the state.

“Whatever decision taken, be it by the party or be it by the Chief Minister, it will be for the benefit of the state as a whole,” he said.

The recent major cabinet reshuffle saw the exit of eight ministers and swearing in of newly inductees.
