Acid test for the National Parties in Polls 2018
Former Congress Home Minister, R.G. Lyngdoh, belonging to a family of politicians, right from his father Peter G. Marbaniang, and also his sister Ampareen Lyngdoh, being cabinet Minister of the Congress led-Meghalaya United Alliance (MUA) government, has in a straight forward, statement, said that time has come for a change, and that an alternate government should come about. R.G. Lyngdoh, has reflected the mood of the people that enough is enough. Yet this wish might not come about, if the opposition parties, do not form an alliance or understanding, to dislodge the present set up, of the Congress led coalition.
Indeed, the mood of the general electorate is for bringing about a change. However at the present moment, there is no sign that any party, whether national or regional, can of its own win the required number in forming the government. For the first time the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a challenging entry, specially against the Congress, in the up coming assembly elections. It would therefore be an acid test for both of these two national parties to be locking horns.
