SHILLONG, MAY 23: The regional parties – Hill State People Democratic Party (HSPDP) and People’s Democratic Front (PDF) today campaigned for the NPP candidate Clement G Momin constesting the upcoming May 28 Ampati bye-election and claimed that all regional partners are united under the leadership of Conrad K Sangma.
Leaders of two parties were speaking at the election campaigns held in three places -Sapthoka, Chondonpara and Joyfur.
Addressing the meeting at Joyfur village, Sports minister and PDF MLA Banteidor Lyngdoh said, “We have started our development journey under Conrad K. Sangma’s leadership. All our feedback for Ampati constituency is very positive. We heard of misinformation campaign led by the Congress that regional parties will align with them. Let me tell on behalf of PDF that we are united and together with NPP.”
The regional forces and independent MLAs, who are part of Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) gave testimony of being together and united for Clement G Momin. They all asserted that MDA Government would complete full term and there was nothing to be afraid.
“The Government is strong and stable,” Lyngdoh asserted.
On the other hand, Independent MLA and Chairman of Meghalaya State Planning Board Lambor Malgniang said, “We are 100 per cent united and we have total of 37 MLAs. Congress party has to sit in opposition. So there is no point to support the Congress.”
The regional parties made sharp statement against the Congress for trying to mislead the people that they would be able to form the government post by-election.
The regional parties asked Mukul Sangma as to what makes them believe and fool the people that they would be able to form the government.
HSPDP MLA Renikton Lyngdoh said, “MDA Government will not just last for five years but forever.”
He said that people of Ampati voted Mukul Sangma for six terms and because of them he had become Chief Minister for eight years but he left the people of his constituency for his political benefits, which is not right.
“Conrad . Sangma is a young and dynamic leader. We foresee progress and development in Meghalaya under his leadership,” he added.
Urban Affairs Minister and PDF leader Hamletson Dohling said, “It is a very important election as Clement G. Momin is not just the candidate of NPP but of the MDA Government and we appeal to the people to give the mandate to him so that MDA Government is further strengthened and Ampati joins the ruling side.”
He asserted that PDF would never support Congress.
“Our commitment is with NPP and other MDA partners, we are united. We are a party with ideology and disciple and would continue to support the leadership of Conrad K Sangma,” added Dohling.
