Shillong, Nov 25 – The ruling National People’s Party (NPP) in Meghalaya on Sunday expelled Khasi Hill Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Chairman, P.N.Syiem fromh the party for his alleged anti-party activities.
In a letter issued to Syiem, State NPP president, W.R.Kharlukhi stated that the disciplinary committee of the NPP has decided to expel him from the party for anti-party activities.
Interestingly, the disciplinary committee is yet to take any action against the two NPP members – – Mitchel Wankhar and Alvin Khyriem Sawkmie — whom many believed that they have voted against the combine NPP-United Democratic Party executive committee of the United Democratic Alliance led by Teiñwell Dkhar in a No Confidence motion moved by opposition Congress.
Kharlukhi said the two party will deal with its two rebel MDC -Wankhar and Sawkmie- in a “separate wayâ€. 
The expulsion letter issued to Syiem followed is a day after Governor Tathagata Roy declined to accede to the state government’s request for imposing administrator’s rule in the KHADC thus giving the newly elected elected KHADC Chief Executive Member, Latiplang Kharkongor and his loyalist a breather.
Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong has said the government has recommended administrator rule in KHADC foreseeing that “instability†will continue in the council if both sides are 14-14 as the House at present is having only 29 members due to the passing away of one member.
“Under this circumstance, even if the new Executive Committee is formed, I do not know how they will pass the financial bills since there is a tie between the two sides and you will again have problem,†Tynsong said.
The KHADC has 29 members at present including the Chairman.
The political situation in KHADC took a new turn all of a sudden when the opposition Congress moved a no confidence motion, which led to the collapse of the UDA-led Executive Committee on November 20 after KHADC chairman, Pynshngaiñlang N Syiem voted in favour of the no confidence motion.
