The Meghalaya chief minister announced that Trinamool Congress members of the MDC are slated to merge with the National People's Party on November 4, while confirming that no discussions have taken place regarding the state’s MLAs.
Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma told reporters that a group of Trinamool Congress (TMC) members identified as MDCs are scheduled to switch allegiance to the National People's Party (NPP) on 4 November.
The move, if confirmed, would bolster the NPP’s numbers ahead of upcoming political realignments in the state, but the chief minister emphasized that the party has not received any formal communication concerning the status of the sitting MLAs.
Sangma added that the government will monitor the situation and that any change in party affiliation of legislators will be dealt with according to constitutional provisions.
No further details were provided, and the TMC has not issued a statement on the alleged defection.
