Shillong, February 13: The Congress on Monday attacked Meghalaya's ruling National People's Party (NPP) for being involved in various scams and released a "charge sheet" against it.

Congress Media Department Chairman Pawan Khera told reporters that the Conrad Sangma-led NPP government has looted the people of Meghalaya and the state has missed major development in the last five years. Meghalaya Assembly Elections 2023: When Is Voting and Result?

These are the examples of irregularities of the NPP government," he claimed. Northeast Assembly Elections 2023: BJP Chief JP Nadda To Release Election Manifestos for Meghalaya and Nagaland Next Week.

Khera also criticised the BJP for snapping ties with the NPP just before the election and terming it corrupt. "If an ally can label such charges, I am really afraid," he said.
