SHILLONG, NOV 9: The opposition Congress is all set to table a No-confidence motion against the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government on Tuesday for its failure in all fronts especially in protecting the interest of the state.
“During this session, the opposition will table a motion expressing its want of confidence in the council of ministers led by the incumbent chief minister Conrad K Sangma in view of the failure of the government in all fronts particularly the failure to protect the interest of the state,” Leader of Opposition, Mukul Sangma told reporters on Monday.
He said when there is an issue of protecting the interest of the state and government is seen to be completely insensitive and trying to shy away from its responsibility, there cannot be any situation which can be a dangerous precedent for the state as a whole.
“Therefore, the House is the best platform where issues can be appropriately flagged before the government, draw the attention of the members of the august house and see how the house collectively look at the interest of the state as the priority and how the interest of the state supercede everything,” Sangma said.
The former chief minister said that the motion will be taken up on Tuesday as he added that it will depend on the wisdom of the Speaker, whether the motion can be taken up immediately or subsequently – we will be guided by the rules.
