Shilong, Nov 17 (NNN): BJP president of Meghalaya state unit, Ernest Mawrie on Wednesday challenged CM Conrad K Sangma to fight only from the south Tura seat and not hedge his career by fighting on two seats – and face the might of the party’s vice president Bernard N Marak in the upcoming 2023 assembly elections.
In a statement, Mawrie said that Bernard Marak was released from police custody on Wednesday against all odds and despite the best efforts of the NPP government to keep him under lockup.
Sangma said that the case against him has no basis or proof and that it is a matter of despicable political vendetta.

Mawrie welcomed Bernard Marak and wished him a swift recovery from the torments that he may have faced while in custody.
The BJP state president called Marak a crusader and urged him to continue his fight against the blatant corruption in the system.
