Sangma said Didi’s leadership style has made them believe that political dynamics will shift in the coming days.
He said the MLAs decided to join AITC as they are anxious like others and wanted an alternative
“The decision was based on the palpable feeling of thousands of Congress workers across the state of Meghalaya, the North East and in the country as well. They are anxious and wanted an alternative. Our decision to join AITC was based on that”, Sangma said
He said their decision will be a trendsetter across the Nor East and the country as the pattern will follow in other states.
“We are only responding to the collective desire of the people and for the interest of the nation”, he added.
