Maharashtra, Gujarat have strong tries with Arunachal Pradesh: Governor

tion rally at Krang village for the party candidate Samlin Malngiang, Sangma said, “We (NPP) are good and we are kind and we work together because we believe in working together… I have never uttered a single word against these people, but it hurts me today when I hear such language and such divisive politics that people are playing. This is not healthy for our people and for our state,” Sangma argued.

Urging the 34,783 electorates to vote for the NPP candidate to bring development and change to Sohiong constituency, Sangma said the only way to bring development to the constituency is to vote for the NPP which is leading the government in the State. Election to Sohiong assembly seat was adjourned just before the February 27 assembly elections due to the death of United Democratic Party (UDP) candidates, Horju Donkupar Roy Lyngdoh, a former minister and leader of the UDP. Incidentally, the UDP is a coalition partner of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance, which the NPP heads.

Six candidates are in the fray for the Sohiong bye-election, which include Synshar Lyngdoh Thabah of the UDP, Samlin Malngiang of the NPP, Congress candidate Osborne Kharjana, BJP candidate Eric Kharbuki, Trinamool Congress candidate Stoding Thabah and Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) candidate Sandondor Ryntathiang. Voting for the Sohiong seat would be held on May 10 and counting of votes would be taken up on March 13.
