Earlier this week, Congress offered "issue-based support" to Chief Minister Conrad Sangma after the CLP's (Congress Legislature Party) meeting with him.
In Meghalaya, a fresh political row has erupted that is set to widen the divide between the Congress and the Trinamool Congress - the northeastern state's two key opposition parties.
Earlier this week, Congress offered "issue-based support" to Chief Minister Conrad Sangma after the CLP's (Congress Legislature Party) meeting with him.
The Trinamool has defined the party's move as a "great betrayal" to the opposition unity as the BJP is Mr Sangma's coalition partner in the state.
"It is a reflection of the fact that the Congress in the state of Meghalaya is in complete disarray... they are victims full of confusion. By associating with the ruling National People's Party which is an NDA partner and offering issue-based support to the government where BJP is a partner, the Congres has taken a position, which is a great betrayal to the opposition," said former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma.
