Two Trinamool Congress MLAs from Garo Hills joined the ruling NPP today.
Marthon Sangma, the MLA of Mendipathar in the North Garo Hills district, and Jimmy D. Sangma, who represented Tikrikilla in the West Garo Hills district, have resigned from the Assembly before switching over to the NPP.
The names of the two MLAs figured in the list of candidates released by NPP today.
Both of them won the 2018 Assembly election as Congress candidates. They were also among the 12 MLAs who joined the Trinamool Congress last year.
