SHILLONG, JAN 24: Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Tuesday asked leaders and members of political parties supporting the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) to disassociate from them and join the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) to rescue the state.
Addressing at the launching of the AITC election manifesto, Sangma said it is time to rescue and free the people and the state from the present dispensation.
“That is the reason why we are making this clarion call to all the people who belong to other political parties to look at the reality and having understood the reality and their true colours, time to disassociate themselves from those political parties and be part of this great family,” he said.
The parliamentary party leader said every individual who have decided to be part of a political system and decided to be a member of any political party have a reason to be able to be part of the team to serve and protect the interest of the people and the state besides ensuring that every policy decision is for the larger good of the people and the state.
Referring to the NPP-led MDA’s rule in the last five years, Sangma said, “It is time for all those friends who are members of all those political parties who formed the present dispensation of the ruling conglomerate to decide and leave those parties and be part of the Meghalaya TMC.”
“We welcome those who think that they can insulate themselves from those people who engage themselves, who are busy in self-centered agendas, who have deviated completely from the priority which revolves around the larger interest of the people and interest of the state,” he added.
Sangma alleged that the present dispensation has systematically dismantled the state and its position.
“It (MDA) has dislocated the whole momentum of growth and development, bringing pain and agony amongst the people belonging to all walks of life be it the teachers, be it government employees, be it the most vulnerable group of people, people with disabilities, the single mothers, the old infirms – everybody has been a victim of this government’s anti-people attitude and their self-centric priorities that they have engaged themselves in the last five years,” he said.
“The state has been robbed of its momentum of growth and development. The overall growth and development that the state has witnessed in preceding years prior to the formation of this government has been completely dislocated. The name and fame of the state of Meghalaya has been completely defaced. I am in a lot of pain. It is very painful to see the state which we have all built together to see the state becoming a victim of the greed of the people who are in the helm of affairs of governance,” Sangma further alleged.
