The Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate from Sohiong constituency, Stoding Thabah on Monday alleged that the NPP candidate Samlin Malngiang in one of his campaigns has made ill statements against religious leaders of one particular faith, stating that pastors never practice what they preached.
While condemning the statement, Thabah demanded public apology from Samlin for his statement.
Meanwhile, the TMC candidate expressed confidence in winning the Sohiong polls and he claimed that sympathy votes will not play a big role as the UDP candidate Synshar Kurbah was against late HDR Lyngdoh during the 2018 election.
