Shillong, Feb 8: NPP candidate from Shillong parliamentary seat and cabinet minister Ampareen Lyngdoh on Wednesday said her party is in the process of coming up with a manifesto to seek the mandate of the people of the state in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“I am awaiting for the document (manifesto) to further guide me on what are the kinds of agenda that I will lay personally as a candidate,” Lyngdoh told reporters.
The four-time legislator of East Shillong said that she is working very hard and is travelling the length and breadth of the constituency to understand the dynamics of issues and agendas being discussed on the ground.
“(I want to know) on the developmental front, what are the things that are urgently required in all 36 constituencies because I will have to have a schedule of work on what I will do if I’m voted to the office of MP,” she said.
Expressing her desire to unify voters of the Shillong parliamentary seat, Lyngdoh said, “The percentage of votes that I may hold, the vote share that our party will receive are important indicators of unity whether or not we’ve been able to communicate efficiently to the people of the state of Meghalaya in our path of Shillong parliamentary seat.”
She informed that she had visited over 10 blocks and had covered almost 67 villages.
“I have covered almost 1,000 or kilometers in the last 33-34 days that I have campaign and there is this feeling that an MP is a distant from the democratic process, so I want to dispel this myth and show the people at the very beginning that I will travel, I will stay the night in your villages, I will understand the dynamics of your needs and requirements and these are all personal agendas which have nothing to do with the broad political campaign of my party. Once the party has come out with the manifesto definitely we will have clarity on this matter, I cannot operate outside of party high command,” she said.
