Meghalaya Congress plans to exit NPP-led KHADC administration

Collaborating with the NPP was a calculated move to avoid the imposition of Administrative Rule: Ronnie

Meghalaya Congress MLA Ronnie V Lyngdoh suggested that the party is exploring the possibility of withdrawing from the National People’s Party (NPP)-led Executive Committee (EC) in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).

Lyngdoh hinted that Congress MDCs are likely to align with the party’s final decision, signalling a shift in its strategic direction.

“As committed members of the Congress, it is our duty to consider the leadership’s directives seriously and act in the best interest of the party. If instructed, we will discontinue our association with the NPP in the KHADC,” said Lyngdoh in a press briefing.

He disclosed that the Congress had been weighing its options over an extended period.

The delay, he explained, was due to the need for consultations with officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) about proposed changes to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.

These talks were essential for clarifying the party’s concerns regarding representation and reservation policies.

“Our interactions with MHA officials allowed us to firmly communicate the council’s stance on representing unrepresented tribes. The Governor’s role in this process must align with the council’s recommendations,” Lyngdoh remarked.

He acknowledged that the Congress’ earlier partnership with the NPP was a pragmatic step aimed at preserving stability in the council.

“Back then, the tensions between the NPP and UDP posed a serious threat to the EC’s survival. Collaborating with the NPP was a calculated move to avoid the imposition of Administrative Rule by the Governor,” he noted.

Lyngdoh highlighted that Administrative Rule could have disrupted ongoing discussions on the Sixth Schedule amendments.

The MLA said the party’s main objective remains protecting the Sixth Schedule’s provisions, which are vital for the council’s empowerment.

The Panchayati Raj framework is not applicable in a Sixth Schedule state like Meghalaya, he asserted.

The Congress leader also revealed that the state and central leaderships had endorsed the earlier collaboration with the NPP.

However, changing political dynamics and a reassessment of priorities have led the party to reconsider its stance.

This development signals a possible transformation in KHADC’s political dynamics, with the Congress poised to realign its focus on asserting autonomy and strengthening its role under the Sixth Schedule.
