HIGH EXPECTATION
With the results of the Ampati election in the background, the Congress is creating an atmosphere of high expectation, that it would return to power. However it should be realized that a win or a loosefor any partythough Ampati is considered to be a prestigious seat, would no unsettle the already establishment of the present Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government. A win for the Congress would simply add the number of its representativein the state legislative assembly,but not to the extent of claiming formation of a government, though it is running neck-to neck with the National People’s Party (NPP).The regional parties being part and parcel of the NPP, would continue having their alliancewith the NPP and BJP, specially being members of the National Democatic Alliance in the Union Government. The Congresshas already missed the bus for a government formation. Ampati therefore whether a win or loss for any side, cannot reverse the political situation.
