Mr. Sangma said that the NPP has every right to call the Trinamool a ‘bohiragato’ party when Ms. Banerjee can call a national party a bunch of outsiders in West Bengal
ADOKGRE (MEGHALAYA)
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Monday “warned” the Trinamool Congress that it was “investing” in the State in vain as most of its leaders would abandon the party after the Assembly election. The polls are scheduled to be held on February 27.
He continued the tradition set by his father, the late P.A. Sangma and launched the campaign of the National People’s Party (NPP) from Adokgre in North Garo Hills district.

Mr. Sangma told his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee that the Trinamool congress was as much of a “ bohiragato (outsider)” in Meghalaya, as she had called a “national party” in her State.
Ms. Banerjee had called the Bharatiya Janata Party an “outsider” party ahead of the 2021 West Bengal elections. The BJP is a minor ally of the NPP in Meghalaya.
“I respect Madam Mamata Banerjee because she respected my father. But it is my duty to inform her the market is abuzz with predictions that most of the Trinamool leaders who joined from different political parties are planning to leave the Trinamool. In fact, they are already in touch with different political parties,” Mr. Sangma told a large gathering at the Chenanggre Stadium.
