Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaAugust 10, 2022

National People’s Party (NPP) national vice president and deputy chief minister Prestone Tynsong on Wednesday asked the opposition All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) legislators to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pre-elections.

“I think they (AITC) need to join BJP, it would be better for them. It is good if they join BJP pre-elections,” Tynsong told reporters.

“If Dr Mukul Sangma and Charles Pyngrope wanted my advice, we can sit down with them and we will advise them that pre-elections join the BJP,” he added.

The NPP leader also alleged that Dr Mukul Sangma’s prediction for 2023 will be “zero”.

“I think you remember very correctly, Mukul that time when he was chief minister of Meghalaya from 2010 to 2018. After 2010 then we went for election in 2013 his prediction was correct, 2013-2018 his prediction had totally failed, 2018-2023 his prediction is zero. That’s it,” he said.
