Editor,
The appointment of Vincent H. Pala as the MPCC President was an expected outcome considering his proximity to the echelons in the AICC and moreover his stint as an MP of Lok Sabha. Everyone had their eyes on other possible nominations but politics is a strange subject of wit and strategy.
The absence of CLP leader Dr. Mukul Sangma does not bode well to the extent of him not being part of the inauguration ceremony of the new MPCC President. Should we say that the feeling of not being given “importance” was the reason for it or should we say the feeling of being “not in control” was the excuse?
Without the support of Dr. Mukul’s detractors it would be difficult for the Congress in Garo Hills to have an easy cakewalk. However, having said that it is up to the strategy that could build up in an unlikely coalition between the Congress along with regional allies and an arranged political “marriage” with an upcoming party like the TMC is a speculation we need to see and watch out for.
Talking of A L Hek, a former BJP cabinet minister of him being sidelined to give way to his party colleague and later to his ‘bête noire’ Ernest Mawrie as a political adviser is bound to lead to a break-up within the BJP camp sooner or later.
How things fall into place is something to wait and watch.
