National People’s Party leader and deputy chief minister Prestone Tynsong on Thursday said the NPP is neither an importer nor an exporter of political leaders.
Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said, “We are not an importer and we are not an exporter also, we are the NPP, the National People’s Party and we work here and serve the interest of the people and the state of Meghalaya and not only Meghalaya even in entire North East region.”
Opposition Congress chief and Shillong MP Vincent H Pala had recently affronted the NPP for having to “import” candidates from the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, slated to be held next year.
Pala had also alleged that the NPP is also approaching former Umroi legislator George B Lyngdoh from the TMC.
When asked about this, Tynsong said that he has no idea about Lyngdoh likely to join his party fold.
“I don’t know, I have no idea about it. So you can ask that from Pala…,” he added.
