Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 10, 2022

All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) state president Charles Pyngrope on Monday said he will seek re-election from Nongthymmai constituency in 2023.

“I have made it very clear that I am a candidate from Nongthymmai and as president of the party, I don’t think anyone can shift me now,” Pyngrope told journalists.

The former Assembly Speaker was reacting to speculations that were doing the rounds about him likely to contest from Mawryngkneng constituency.

When asked, Pyngrope admitted that there were attempts by the Congress to shift him to Mawryngkneng.

“I was made to understand that there would have been attempts to ask me to contest from Mawryngkneng but that could be again just someone’s imagination as it was never given to me in black and white,” he said.
