I have been a patron of various local vernacular and English newspapers related to the various political news going around.
As an admirer and a staunch supporter of the Congress I am appalled at the undemocratic way the AICC had to undertake in appointing the President to the MPCC without taking the views of party members and grass root workers. Such an attitude instead of expanding the party’s base has begun to erode due to the indifference of the party officials towards the needs of the people.
The childish remarks by new MPCC president Vincent Pala about Dr. Mukul Sangma, who was once a close party colleague, shows that Pala has no real interest in resolving the matters amicably but has washed the party’s dirty linens in public.
The fact that petty politics within the Congress has hurt the feelings and has now cast doubt as to whether there is any chance for the Congress to win the 2023 elections leave alone forming a government as a single majority party?
The remarks by the MLA of Laitumkhrah Constituency Ampareen Lyngdoh that the Congress would be willing to form a coalition with any party including the NPP if there is mutual understanding raises the question of party principle and if in 2023 such a tie-up does come out why would voters vote for the Congress. They would better vote for NPP or BJP or any other party rather than the Congress knowing the plan of the party to form a coalition which is absurd. Hope the people will realise this treachery before it’s too late.
