Shillong, May 6: The Meghalaya Pradesh Youth Congress (MPYC) has said that suspended Congress legislator from East Shillong, Ampareen Lyngdoh is no alien to terminologies like “gharwapsi†and “double standardsâ€.
“Ms. Lyngdoh has more than once shown why she is synonymous with such terms. It would do her some good to remember when she left the Congress party in 2008, and soon after she ditched the UDP within a year of joining it to return to the Congress. If this does not reflect her own double standards, merely for the sake of position and power, then what does?,†the MPYC said.
The Youth Congress also said that it is indeed very unfortunate that a person, who has been a minister and accommodated in the party many at times overlooking her ambitions and greed for power, is now issuing absurdities and falsehoods against the MPCC president, Vincent H. Pala.
According to the MPYC statement against the MPCC president is but a reflection of her frustrations for not being allowed to do things according to her whims inside the party by trampling on the values and principles of the party.
The MPYC lauded Pala stating that he has only been doing what a true democratic and people’s leader is expected to do.
According to them, the MPCC chief is setting his house in order and to do that he is working at the grassroots level and organizing people at the blocks so that the party functionaries can listen to the people and address their needs and concerns.
The MPYC said that the people of the state deserve to get leaders who can help them build their career, their land and improve their livelihoods without compromising on values and principles which have been handed down to them by leaders of yesteryears.
“The Congress under Mr. Pala has been clear in its aim to reach out to the people and develop a bottom-up system which works in everyone’s interest, rather than appease a few whose sole ambition has been only position and power and remotely anything to do with the interest of the people of their constituency and the State,†the MPYC stated.
It also reiterated that the doors of the MPCC are always open for those who want to return to their homes.
Meanwhile, the MPYC congratulated Billykid Sangma for winning gold in Golf at the Meghalaya Games, in spite of the poor treatment meted out to athletes.
