Accusing the BJP of forming a proxy government, he tweeted, “With just 2 seats, the BJP has usurped power in Meghalaya, through a proxy.”
A day after losing its bastion Meghalaya to NPP-BJP alliance despite getting more seats, Congress president Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP and accused it of not respecting people’s mandate.
Rahul Gandhi who on March 1, had announced that he will be meeting his ‘Naani’ on the Holi weekend, was missing when the Northeast assembly elections results were declared on Saturday. Congress despite getting more seats in Meghalaya than BJP, couldn’t form the government as the regional parties opted to go with NPP-BJP alliance.
My Nani is 93. She’s the kindest soul ever. This Holi weekend, I’m going to surprise her! I can’t wait to give her a hug…. #HappyHoli to all of you. Have a joyful celebration..

Accusing the BJP of forming a proxy government, he tweeted, “With just 2 seats, the BJP has usurped power in Meghalaya, through a proxy.” He also accused the BJP of disrespecting people’s mandate like in Manipur and Goa. Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP accusing them of using the money to create an “opportunistic alliance”. Rahul with a #DemocracyDemonetised said, “Like in Manipur & Goa, showing utter disregard for the mandate of the people. Obsessed instead with grabbing power, using big money to create an opportunistic alliance.”

Meanwhile, the NPP-BJP alliance’s Chief Ministerial candidate Conrad Sangma will be swearing in as a CM of the state today. The state was ruled by the Congress for over 10 years. However, after the fractured mandate in the Assembly election, the NPP-BJP alliance stumped Congress to form a government.
