SHILLONG, February 22: Former MLA of Ranikor, Martin M.Danggo has decided to contest again in the Assembly Election as a National People’s Party (NPP) candidate in 2023, as announced in the gathering held to welcome him back to the party after he had no part in it for the past two years.
Speaking at the gathering, Danggo stated that he will do whatever the public decides, even if they send him to hell also. He said that after he had been defeated in the bye-election, he had thought that the public had discarded him and therefore no longer intended to contest any elections again but to simply support others who want to contest the elections.
He further stated that during his absence from the party for the past 2 years, the Chief Minister who is also the National President of the NPP had sent messengers to meet with him which really touched him. He also said that in his meeting with Conrad Sangma, he expressed that he does not have anything against the Chief Minister and expressed his gratitude for the Civil Sub-Division.
Danggo who is also the former Speaker in the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly said that in October of 2019, his supporters met and deliberated over Danggo contesting again in the elections and the choice would be up to him to decide on which party he would contest from. He said that it took him 2 years to decide on contesting again after consultations with supporters from all the blocks and units were held by proclaiming to his supporters that whatever they decide, he shall accept, even if they send him to hell also.
