Mamata's ‘Khela Hobe’ move in Meghalaya began with Mukul Sangma-Prashant Kishore meeting 2.5 months back

A close source of former Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma said that the first meeting between him and Prashant Kishor was held in Kolkata two and half months back.

Ahead of the 2023 assembly elections in Meghalaya, Mamata Banerjee’s unprecedented coup in the North Eastern state with the joining of 12 out of 17 Congress MLAs, including former Chief Minister Dr Mukul Sangma in Trinamool Congress, started from a meeting between Mukul Sangma and political strategist Prashant Kishor just two and half months back.

The rift between two-time Chief Minister Mukul Sangma and the state Congress unit started just after Vincent Pala was appointed as the chief of Meghalaya Congress on August 26 this year.
