‘Wait and watch’, says Meghalaya CM on Cockroach Party

Shillong, June 8 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister and National People’s Party (NPP) President Conrad Sangma has adopted a “wait and watch” policy towards the enthusiasm generated by the Cockroach Janata Party.
“A political party has to be based on a constitution and a grassroots organisation. Therefore, there is a long way to go. We will have to wait and watch to see how things happen and how they shape up,” Sangma told reporters on Monday.
He continued : “Initial hype can always be there which again depends on the issues that are there. But I think what is important is the consistency and the long-term stability of organization. So let's see how it goes and we will be watching.”
