Conrad launches campaign for home constituency

Meghalaya Chief Minister and NPP Chief, Conrad K. Sangma launched his poll campaign for his home constituency of 51-South Tura in a mega show of strength at New Tura Law College field on Monday. Seeking support for the NPP party in the ensuing February 27 elections, Sangma highlighted the various development works undertaken by his government in the last five years, which he said was ‘phenomenal’ given that it had overcome over 45 years of underdevelopment in the state, especially Garo Hills, and particularly Tura constituency.
“You as the voters of Tura endorsed my candidature in the by-election and voted me into victory with a record margin of over 8500 victory margin. With your support we were able to do a lot of work in five years for the entire state and Tura as well,” the NPP Chief said.
Sangma also informed that Meghalaya is now a model for other states in implementation of the JJM for water supply to homes. In fact, even the Jal Shakti Minister from the Government of India, Rajendra Shekhawat, during his visit to Shillong told the media that other states ought to follow the successful model of the Meghalaya government, Sangma mentioned.
The NPP Chief further stated that the progress Meghalaya has made in the last five years has made New Delhi sit up and take notice.
“Our dream is to make Meghalaya a Model State and be at par with the best in the country,” he emphasised.
