"MLAs Said We've Had Enough": Conrad Sangma Tears Into Manipur Ally BJP
NDTV
The NPP had earlier alleged that its candidates were being threatened by several militant outfits that are campaigning for the BJP.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, whose party National People's Party (NPP) is the BJP's key ally in northeast India, today tore into its coalition partner accusing it of not following "coalition dharma".
"In the last 5 years...we faced a large number of challenges and hence we were unable to deliver on a large number of commitments that were made," he said while addressing a rally in the second leg of his Manipur assembly elections campaign.
Mr Sangma claimed that at one point, his party MLAs had "had enough" and they quit the coalition. "It was only after the intervention of some leaders and myself that the coalition was saved," he added.
Making his pitch for a strong pan-northeast party, he said that the region needs a party of its own and that the "seeds to throw out national parties" will be sown in Manipur.
