Don’t be scared of Prez Rule: Tynsong tells UDP

SHILLONG, May 31 (NNN): National People’s Party (NPP) leader and deputy chief minister of Meghalaya, Prestone Tynsong on Monday asked the United Democratic Party (UDP) not to be scared of President’s rule if they so think that the National People’s Party-led government is damaging for the state.
Speaking to media persons, 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 asked.
Stating that he has nothing to say on the allegations made by the MDA partners, Tynsong said that whatever decisions taken by the government for the interest of the state have been consented by the two important platforms – MDA members and the coordination committee. These are the two platforms that the MDA partners used to discuss issues and policies of the government.
On the coalition partners trying to push all the blame to the NPP ahead of the 2023 polls, the deputy chief minister maintained that his party does not need to tackle or have sleepless nights on the matter.
