Shillong, March 10: The MDA-2 government’s spokesperson Marcuise N Marak has denied that his party and its allies were engaging in horse trading.
“There is no horse trading at all,” Marak told reporters in response to a query on the allegation made by the former chief minister Mukul Sangma that the alternative government could not be formed by regional parties, AITC and Congress, due to the horse trading.
“If some of the newly elected MLAs wanted to join the NPP-led government then our duty is to welcome them. So therefore, where is horse trading? There is no horse trading at all,” he asserted.
Marak, who holds the public health engineering (PHE) department among others expressed confidence that the MDA government will perform well.
On the new ministry, he said,“Most of the ministers are very experienced – Paul, Ampareen and Mondal are seniors. These are ministers who have already proven their efficiency. Therefore, I hope this cabinet will perform well and I will also try my level best to perform well,” Marak added
