Shillong, Nov 22 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma along with his alliance partners - United Democratic Party (UDP) and People’s Democratic Front (PDF) has hit out at BJP national vice-president, Dr Chuba Ao for his maverick statement in which he accused State regional parties of going to New Delhi with a “begging bowl”.
On Saturday, Ao, who is also BJP’s in-charge Meghalaya, had stated that “regional parties with national outlook have one agenda – go to Delhi with a begging bowl. What they do with it after returning is an open secret .”
Countering Ao’s veiled attack, Chief Minister Sangma said, “He has brought down his people and has made them look in a very bad light.”
