Shillong, January 28: Daryl William Cheran Momin, grandson of the first Meghalaya chief minister late Captain Williamson A Sangma, is the front runner for the Congress ticket for the Tura Lok Sabha seat. Momin is one among the nine Congress aspirants to have applied the Congress ticket for the Tura Lok Sabha seat.
Daryl father Fersen Ch Momin had contested the Tura MDC seat in 1994 and won.
A post graduate from the prestigious St. Xavier’s College in Kolkata and an MBA from Bond University, twenty-six year old Daryl appears to fit the AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi vision of young, educated political leader who would take the nation forward.
A senior state Congress leader told this website that Daryl is likely to get the party’s ticket as the State Election Committee (SEC) members found that he is the only one who appears to be having the political edge and the right profile for being the Congress candidate for the Tura seat.
It is learnt that the recommendation of the SEC is tilted towards Daryl and if the Congress high command goes by the views of the SEC, the grandson of late first chief minister of the state.
Daryl names has been submitted to the AICC high command along with the names of Zenith M. Sangma, younger brother of chief minister Mukul M. Sangma, Salmanpara legislator Winnerson D. Sangma, former legislator Adolf Lu Hitler R. Marak, Meghalaya PCC general secretary Richard M. Marak, former bureaucrats Arlene M. Sangma, DK Arengh, Meghalaya PCC general secretary Polycarp Marak and Bijoy Sangma.
The Tura Lok Sabha seat is currently being occupied by Agatha K Sangma, daughter of former Lok Sabha speaker and Nationalist People’s Party (NPP) president Purno A Sangma. – By Our Reporter
the reports is inadequate.. As a common man i want to know where is this ‘Bond University?’ As a common man i also wanted to say that every college in India is prestigious, until proved otherwise. As a common man I want to know that Daryl William Cheran Momin, is a post graduate of which discipline ( Philosophy or History, Physics, etc)?….
@Pynshisa : It is not always necessary to provide readers with minute details that has no significance to the story. The bigger picture is enough unless the small details has a bearing on the story, which in this case doesn’t. And prestigious sobriquet is based on general perception and all the college are not prestigious.. how can you compare JNU with Umsyrphi college.
It seems a divide and rule policies… On top of that he must be a vote cutter candidate..since his grand papa is a first Meghalaya chief minister late Captain Williamson A Sangma, who is a father of P.A.Sangma….nice political game..
if this is the case, then i wont vote for Daryl.. Congress party is making a big mistake by choosing inexperience, incompetent leader to represent the state of meghalaya. Calling everyone hey bro n sis wad up? wont change the mind of the people to vote for him. He should first change himself and proof that He is the man that we all are looking for. Young and dynamic he maybe but lacks quality as a good human being.
haha.. Congress with their vision to change the system by bringing in young and dynamic politician is nothing but a joke to a people like me. Rahul Gandhi has no vision and so is the same with his followers.
