SHILLONG: National president of the National People’s Party (NPP) and chief minister of Meghalaya, Conrad K Sangma, on Thursday inaugurated the party’s office in New Delhi, a first for any Northeast-based political party.
NPP being the eighth national party in the country, was allotted the party office by the Government of India at 75 North Avenues. After dedicating the party office to his late father Purno A’gitok Sangma, Conrad informed that the Government of India has allotted the party office to NPP for fulfilling the criteria as national party status.
“No political party from Northeast has ever achieved this level,” he said, while adding that the inauguration of the party office in Delhi was “a great moment for the people of Northeast”. “The NPP has been working with a focused approach to reach out to different parts of the country, wherever the vacuum for political leadership is required,” he said.
“In the coming days, NPP will strengthen itself further and will emerge as a major political force and will ensure victory of the party in the state election in Manipur, slated for 2022,” he said, while expressing confidence that the next chief minister in Manipur would be from NPP.
