Pala accuses Sniawbhalang of being a BJP-RSS spokesperson

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaAugust 22, 2024

Congress chief Vincent H Pala on Thursday accused the National People’s Party (NPP) national general secretary and deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar of being the “spokesperson” of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Pala was strongly reacting to Dhar’s statement that the Congress will soon be wiped out from Meghalaya following the recent merging of its three MLAs – Gabriel Wahlang (Nongstoin), Dr Celestine Lyngdoh (Umsning) and Charles Marngar (Mawhati) – with the NPP.

The former Shillong MP also claimed that he is richer than the NPP to join its fold.

“Sniawbhalang Dhar is the spokesperson of the RSS. The RSS or the BJP wherever they are, their voice is Congress Mukt. So Sniawbhalang Dhar has to voice it otherwise they know all illegalities from drugs, coal to anything all done by Sniawbhalang Dhar and company,” Pala told reporters.

Alleging that the Dhar is under the CBI scanner, the Congress chief said, “I was an MP, I know. They used to come to me and ask for feedback, intelligence. All their files are on their table. A time will come and we will see who Sniawbhalang is. History will tell who Pala is and who is Sniawbhalang?”

Referring to the arrest of Arwind Kejriwal and other political leaders including ex-chief ministers, Pala said, “The records which they put one day they will land in problem.”

“Today they have to speak the voice of the BJP otherwise they will be finished by the BJP so the voice of Sniawbhalang is hundred percent the voice of the BJP, the voice of the RSS. The people of Meghalaya should know who he is. He has been exposed by his statement that he has been used by the BJP, he has been used by the RSS,” he further alleged.

On Dhar’s statement that the NPP would welcome Pala to join its fold anytime, the Congress president responded by saying “I think Pala is richer than the NPP”.
