Tynsong asks UDP not to be scared of President’s Rule

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMay 30, 2022

National People’s Party (NPP) leader and deputy chief minister Prestone Tynsong on Monday questioned the United Democratic Party (UDP) as to why it should be scared of President’s Rule if the National People’s Party-led government is damaging for the state.

Tynsong said that few leaders of the UDP had stated that the damage is more than the constructive programme under the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government led by Conrad K Sangma but they are scared to withdraw support because President’s rule may be imposed in the state.

“My personal opinion is very clear, if you (UDP) feel that the NPP led government keeps damaging the interest of the state, why should you be scared of the President’s rule? Why should we be scared of the president’s rule, where is the threat because even the President’s rule is according to the Constitution of India, that is my question,” he said.

He said he has nothing to say on the allegations made by the MDA partners. This is because whatever decisions taken by the government for the interest of the state have been consented by the two important platforms – MDA members and coordination committee, he said adding these are the two platforms where the MDA partners used to discuss issues and policies of the government.
