The Trinamool has also slammed the other national and regional parties for not raising any questions related to the northeast and claimed that the TMC MP has at least pointed out 4-5 issues in the interest of the people of the state.

Meghalaya TMC Legislature Party Leader and the Leader of Opposition, Dr Mukul Sangma on February 9 said that for the first time in the country, the Meghalaya government failed to appoint teachers, thereby restricting our children’s access to education. 

"Children from all regions — Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo Hills — are stranded hopelessly due to the disastrous governance. This has reached a point where many schools were shut down in various villages of our state. This is also a deliberate attempt to stop our children from gaining knowledge while trampling their invaluable aspirations. It is our responsibility to fight against these mindsets,” Sangma said. 

The Meghalaya TMC Legislature Party Leader addressed two significant events on February 9 at Bajengdoba and Mendipathar in North Garo Hills. 

Speaking to a huge gathering of supporters who thronged at the Achotchonggre ground in Bajengdoba, the Leader of the Opposition said that the NPP-led MDA government created an infamous history by denying the appointment of teachers.
