Shillong Jan 29: The BJP in Meghalaya said that the challenge to replace the present Executive Committee led by the National People’s Party (NPP) in GHADC with little or no authority, is an endeavor to put things right in the affairs of the Council indefinitely.
A statement issued by Meghalaya BJP president, Ernest Mawrie, slammed Meghalaya NPP President Dr WR Kharlukhi in connection with the issue of political drama in the GHADC.
Earlier the BJP and members of the opposition Congress and Independents failed to topple the NPP-led Executive Committee in GHADC after the Chairman of the Council did not take up the ‘no confidence’ motion and adjourned the House.
Kharlukhi alleged that the BJP was sharing the same bed with the Congress in GHADC.
Reacting to this, Mawrie however said that the NPP President would do well to remember that NPP elected members also are old wine in a new bottle.
“The member of the District Council of any political party can always maintain his or her own identity in the Council. When any member is not gratified with the style of functioning of the ruling side, who desire to cling to their seats even after reducing to minority, the door is always opened for the aggrieved member to align with the party having the majority in the Council, simple logic,” Mawrie said.
He said that the statement of the NPP president was much less convincing as the “pot calling the kettle black†fogging the issues with unrelated information which are totally nonsense, trying to portrayed the half–truth proclamation as reality.
“The BJP is less likely to be vulnerable at the attempt of dividing us, be at the State as well as at the Council level. The deflection happens when the present Executive Committee is facing the real problem, other than other issues, of mismanagement of the affairs of the Council,” the state BJP president said.
Stating that the challenge to replace the present EC with little or no authority, is an endeavor to put things right in the affairs of the GHADC indefinitely, Mawrie said, “the deceit of the present EC may be better known to the people of the region and let the people know what has occurred.”
