Meghalaya: NPP leader from Garo Hills Autonomous District Council switches to Congress

Dinang T Sangma, former Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) and leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) resigned from the NPP and joined the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. 

This move has bolstered the campaign of Congress' Tura Lok Sabha candidate, Saleng Sangma. Dinang T Sangma and his supporters joined the Congress at his residence.
