He added the crowd that the Congress had not been able to ensure much development in Meghalaya during their 10-year term, but that the NPP has ushered in major development interventions in just three years, which would turn around the development situation in the Garo Hills and the state.

Rakkam Sangma urged Chokpot residents to see the bright side of the political situation and vote for the NPP in the upcoming election.

The CM spoke at several meetings including one at Deku Bazar, to seek support for the party's Rongrikkimgre GHADC constituency candidate Wenison Ch Marak.
