The five Congress MLAs, who recently joined the NPP-led MDA government in Meghalaya, are likely to face suspension. 

This was informed by Meghalaya Congress president and Lok Sabha MP Vincent Pala. 

Pala said that all the five MLAs would be served with show-cause notices by the Comgress party for ‘supporting’ the MDA government in Meghalaya. 

On February 8, five Congress MLAs in Meghalaya ‘pledged’ their support to the MDA government “to strengthen” it.
