Shillong, Dec 2: In order to save itself from another major embarrassment like the event of 12 MLAs leaving the party overnight, Meghalaya Congress on Thursday dissolved the state unit of National Students’ Union India (NSUI), the student wing of the Indian National Congress.
Earlier on Thursday, NSUI Meghalaya Unit vice president, Changkam M Sangma, had tendered his resignation to NSUI national president Neeraj Kundan citing ‘few individuals in the helm of affairs in the State PCC seems to be playing the game of chess with their members’.
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Ampareen Lyngdoh said the state unit was dissolved after inputs that there is going to be an attempt for another mass resignation.
She shared that due to alleged anti-party activities of a few, they had to recommend for dissolving the NSUI body of Meghalaya adding “it is a strategy that needs to get done.”
“Why should we allow anyone to beat the Congress, we preempt we take necessary actions so that people of Meghalaya will know that we are an alert group in the Congress as of today,” Lyngdoh said.
The latest development comes following the mass exodus of 12 MLAs to All India Trinamool Congress (AITC).
The CLP leader, however, said that the decision to dissolve the NSUI was not taken with the intention to antagonize members who remain with the party but “that would given us the opportunity to request parent body of the NSUI to restructure and reform the NSUI Meghalaya chapter.”
