Blow for NSUI in Meghalaya as 600 members quit
The Hindu
This coincides with the student wing winning five posts in Assam
It has been one setback after another for Congress in Meghalaya. Some 600 members of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress, quit from the State’s East Khasi Hills district on December 2. This coincided with the NSUI in Assam winning five posts in the election of the Postgraduate Students’ Union of the Gauhati University.
The 600 followed their State president Bansharailang Pyngrope in quitting the NSUI, attributing their move to the “business-like approach” of parliamentarian Vincent H. Pala, who took over a few months ago as the president of the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC).
“We were left like orphans in view of the latest political developments in the MPCC,” Mr Pyngrope said in a letter to NSUI national president Neeraj Kundan. He complained that the State Congress chief “does not have any regard for hard work, sincerity and dedication”.
