SHILLONG, NOV 9: BJP state president Rikman G. Momin on Monday said several sitting MLAs and MDCs have approached the party, but a decision on their joining will be taken only after a crucial meeting with central leaders on November 15.

He said the coordination committee for all four issues, headed by a sitting MLA, will be announced after returning from Delhi.

“The coordination committee for all four issues headed by a sitting MLA will be announced after returning from Delhi,” Momin said. “The central team shall coordinate with the respective MLAs of the coordination committee so that the issues can get resolved at the earliest.”

Momin said the state BJP will play a crucial role in resolving the issues with the active support of the BJP MLAs.

He credited the eight newly joined MLAs for joining the BJP with a clear intention to resolve the five key issues, saying things have started moving fast after they joined.

“This is evident as we can see how things are moving fast after they joined the party. We can clearly see how keenly the centre is taking us after the numbers have increased,” he said.

“The positive effects also could be seen after the coal committee and JPC committee visited Shillong following the surge in BJP numbers in the state,” he added.

On Christian institutions, Momin assured that their interests will be protected.

“We will ensure that the interest of Christian institutions in the state will be strongly and rightly preserved,” he said. “We will meet the JPC chairman in Delhi and apprise him of our state party’s stand and suggest the most suited solution to resolve the problems. The issue cannot be resolved without the intervention of the state party.”

Momin appealed to the people to give the BJP a clear majority in the Assembly for faster development.

“People should understand that if we want more issues to be solved and development to be fast tracked, the people have to give the BJP a clear majority in the assembly and then see the positive difference it makes to the state and its people,” he said.
