Shillong, Feb 1: All India Congress Committee (AICC) media coordinator Bobbeeta Sharma on Wednesday said that former Chief Minister Dr. Mukul Sangma has made the greatest political blunder of his life by joining the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC).
“With all due respect to him, I think he has made the greatest political blunder of his life by joining the TMC,” Sharma told reporters.
She also reminded that late Purno Agitok Sangma had also joined the TMC but their friendship did not last long as it died down and said, “That time itself, it was realized that the people of Meghalaya will never accept TMC because it is an outsider party.”
Sharma said that the Trinamool Congress will not win many seats in the coming elections. “We have got feedback that they are not going to win many seats in Garo Hills and I don’t think they are going to make any impact at all in Khasi Hills region. So I feel he (Mukul) has made the biggest political blunder by leaving the Congress party,” she said.
Mukul, who is currently the leader of opposition, will be contesting from two seats – Songsak and Tikrikilla – in the upcoming assembly elections, slated for February 27.
