Shullai endores Mawrie’s stance of ‘ticket after scrutiny’, backs him to complete full term; wants infighting to stop in BJP

Must read

Shillong, Aug 16: Endorsing the statement of President Ernest Mawrie who has categorically stated that party ticket should be given only after a close scrutiny and survey, BJP MLA Sanbor Shullai says there is nothing wrong with this stance.

South Shillong BJP MLA Shullai further stressed that Mawrie should be allowed to complete his term and a change of president at this point of time is nothing but suicidal for the party.

He said ‘the need of the hour’ for the party is to stand united and work collectively and that he has personally spoken with Dr Chuba Ao and will also speak with other central leaders and requested everyone to withhold the demand for change in party presidentship at this crucial hour.

“I personally feel that Mawrie has stood by the party during the recent crisis and that he has lifted the morale of party karyakartas in Garo hills,” he added.

In addition, Shullai welcomed the news of Himalaya Shangpliang’s expected joining of the party. He said Shangpliang will be the right choice for Mawsynram and will personally speak with party leaders there to work together with him if he joins the party officially.

Infighting and groupism in BJP

He also stated that he is in touch with MLAs, MDCs from Jaintia Hills and will ensure that more than 5 seats are won from Khasi and Jaintia Hills this time. He said, “BJP will cross the double digit mark in the upcoming elections but first the infighting and groupism within the party should end immediately.”

“Anyone from the party with any form of grievance can meet me personally and we shall address the issue if it’s of genuine concern. I would appeal to all the leaders to work for the party and since the time is limited so a change of state president at this hour is too late and that it may trigger a collapse with karyakartas and leaders resigning en masse as reorganizing party at this short time will not be possible,” he said.

BJP is for stable government

Shullai further said that any one who is against party ideology should not be entertained and that if you go by his history, he has always stood for a stable government and has stayed away from the lobbying game.

“The BJP will lead government in 2023 and I will continue to defend my party in case any other political party or leader tries to tarnish the image of BJP. The BJP both at the centre and state has worked tirelessly for the people along with other coalition members and that we have never resorted to divisive politics but rather provided stability and full support on all fronts,” he said.
