Mukul Sangma and Others have betrayed people of Meghalaya: M'laya Congress

Guwahati: After 12 MLAs including former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma in Meghalaya joined the Trinamool Congress quitting the Meghalaya Congress, the in-charge of Meghalaya Congress Manish Chatrath said that these MLAs had kept their "personal ambitions" above the ideology of the party.

Chatrath added that the MLAs who have joined that TMC has betrayed the people of Meghalaya.

In a major turn of political events in Meghalaya, 12 of the 17 Congress MLAs including former Chief Minister and Congress Legislator Party Leader Mukul Sangma joined the Trinamool Congress on Thursday.

Over the past days, there have been reports claiming that Mukul Sangma would soon join the BJP but the recent development of him joining the TMC has come as a massive political turn of events. Mukul Sangma had claimed that he would not quit the Congress but the report of him shifting from the party has come as shock for the party and its members in the state as well as the Country.

TMC supremo and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee earlier this week had hinted that there will be major political development in the Northeast and the TMC would now focus on expanding to the Northeast states.
