SHILLONG, MAR 5: United Democratic Party (UDP) legislator Paul Lyngdoh sidestepped questions about internal leadership changes, telling reporters that analysis of party affairs is better left to journalists.

Asked whether there is any move to change the leadership in the UDP, the West Shillong MLA responded, “See, I think it is entirely the job of journalists as opinion makers to also find out and analyze political events. I can’t really comment politically (on the) party to which I belong and say things.”

Pressed further, he added, “If I say everything is alright, you will say this guy is bragging about UDP. If I say everything is wrong, you will say he is criticizing his own party. Why don’t you analyze these events?”

Lyngdoh said his earlier call to broaden internal democracy remains his position.

“I have already spoken about the need to democratise the party. That is on record and it continues to be my stand,” he said.

Asked whether the UDP is undemocratic, he declined to elaborate directly, replying, “You please go back to my earlier statement, why I made that statement and what is the status as of date if you are to analyze that statement.”
