SHILLONG, SEPT 16: A day after the United Democratic Party (UDP) dropped its demand for replacing KHADC’s Chief Executive Member (CEM) Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit, the latter said he is willing to accept the suggestions made by the UDP, which is the coalition partner of the HSPDP and KHNAM in the ruling All Regional Parties Alliance (ARPA) in the council, provided it is constructive.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday Basaiawmoit said that if the UDP’s suggestion is at all constructive he is willing to listen even as he announced that his final decision on the present crisis will be declare during the proposed public meeting on September 19.

Informing that UDP is yet to officially communicate its proposed points to the ARPA, Basaiawmoit however said, “But it will all depends on me to decide whether I can or can’t work under those conditions proposed by them (UDP).”
Basaiawmoit said he will go ahead with the public meeting on September 19 and give his final decision on the crisis in the KHADC.
“Till this moment, my intention to hold the public meeting has not change and I have decided that I will clarify before the public on the recent allegations leveled against me besides other problems,” Basaiawmoit said. He said he has the right to clarify and ensure that the public are not in any way being misled on this issue.”
