Shillong, Feb 21: Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) working president Pynshngain N Syiem on Monday claimed that the MDCs in the KHADC are still intact while reacting to reports that four MDCs including Bajop Pyngrope and B. Ryntathiang are likely to join the NPP.
Speaking to reporters, Syiem, who is also opposition leader in the council, said that the present strength of the Congress in the KHADC is 7, after Fantin Lakadong left and joined the National People’s Party (NPP).
“As of now, we are intact and there is no sign that they (MDCs) are planning to join other political parties,” he said.
Syiem, however, said that he cannot say anything keeping in mind the dynamics of politics. “Yes, there are reports stating that they may join the NPP but till today there is no sign but I cannot say whether they will join or not,” he added.
When asked about Bajop’s disappointment after his name was removed from the result of the election to the president of the party’s state youth wing, the MPCC working president however said that he cannot comment on the matter since the election was conducted by the IYC.
