Rejecting BJP’s claim there there will be ‘ No Government without BJP,’ National People’s Party (NPP) national vice president and deputy chief minister Prestone Tynsong on Tuesday claimed his party will form Government on its own in 2023.
Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said, “We are prepared and we are ready to fight. Post 2023 election, we are going to form the government on our own.”
When asked, the NPP leader said that he doesn’t see other political parties as a threat nor should they also see NPP as a threat because elections in Meghalaya are totally different.
“I keep telling you that elections are totally different in Meghalaya. People of Meghalaya when they decide to vote for any candidate, it is done according to their own choice, according to their relationship, their closeness with that particular candidate – so the question of party here is secondary but primarily, I am telling you that winning election in the state of Meghalaya, I have seen and I have done my research people does not elect the candidate on the basis of party line but they elect on the basis on their personal line,” he said.
