NPP can’t ask BJP to leave Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government : Marak

Shillong, Oct 17 (UNI) A day after Deputy Chief Minister and National People’s Party (NPP) leader Prestone Tynsong remarked that the BJP, which has been making serious allegations of corruption against the very government of which it was a part, was free to leave the NPP-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government, the saffron party retorted, saying the NPP could not ask it to leave the ruling coalition because “MDA exists because of BJP”.
“MDA does not belong to NPP as NPP is a coalition partner of BJP in MDA. Sad that Prestone did not realize that without BJP, MDA cannot exist. In Centre it is National Democratic Alliance (NDA) where NPP is a coalition partner. In Meghalaya, NPP is a coalition partner who won more seats in support of BJP, therefore it is named MeghalayaDemocratic Alliance (MDA). In Garo Hills NPP partnered with BJP, naming the coalition in GHADC as Garo Hills Democratic Alliance (GHDA). So what is NPP without BJP,” State BJP vice president Bernard N Marak asked.
Terming Tynsong's statement asking BJP to leave MDA as the most 'irresponsible' statement given by NPP against BJP, Marak said the "sole intention to divert the corruption of NPP leaders."
