Shillong: The National People’s Party (NPP) has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is attempting to disrupt the stability of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) coalition by threatening to recall its support.
Cabinet Minister and NPP leader Rakkam A Sangma criticized BJP vice president Bernard N Marak for his remarks, stating that the NPP-led coalition has more than 45 MLAs in the 60-member House, well above the required 31 to form a government.

He clarified that the decision was not related to elections, but rather a response to the loss of lives in Manipur.
