Shillong, Oct 1: In a major development that will shock the state and especially the Congress, word is doing the round that former Chief Minister and incumbent Leader of Opposition Dr. Mukul Sangma along with 13 other MLAs are all set to quit the Congress in Meghalaya.
Sources informed on Thursday that the 14 MLAs are likely to merge with the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC). They said that Dr. Sangma will make an official announcement after a meeting to be held on Friday.
According to sources, the MLAs were not happy with certain decisions of the AICC which include the appointment of the MPCC president Vincent H. Pala.
Mentionably, few days back, Dr Sangma was in Kolkata where he is said to have met TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. Although the senior Congress leader denied having met any TMC leader and rubbished rumours of him planning to quit the grand old party, Banerjee, however, confirmed meeting Dr. Sangma.
