Shilong: BJP president of Meghalaya state unit, Ernest Mawrie today challenged chief minister Conrad K Sangma to fight only from the South Tura seat and not hedge his career by fighting on two seats – and face the might of the party’s vice president Bernard N Marak in the upcoming 2023 Assembly elections.
In a statement, Mawrie said that Bernard Marak was today released from police custody against all odds and despite the best efforts of the NPP government to keep him under lockup.
He said that the case against him has no basis or proof and that it is a matter of despicable political vendetta.
