Mukul Sangma, Leader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister of Meghalaya, dismissed rumors about joining the ruling National People’s Party (NPP), calling them ‘wishful thinking.’ He responded to speculation following his presence in New Delhi, coinciding with Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong’s visit. Mukul asserted he was in his constituency, Songsak, engaging with residents and focusing on strengthening his party amidst poor phone connectivity. He emphasized that interactions with Conrad and Prestone are common among colleagues and do not signify a political alignment, highlighting differences in their political ideologies. Furthermore, he mentioned the challenges within the NPP’s leadership and reaffirmed his party’s commitment to preparing for the upcoming GHADC elections, dismissing distractions from baseless narratives.
