The Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Meghalaya has slammed the Conrad K. Sangma government for creating a beef crisis to fulfil the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘hidden political agenda’.
The BJP is a minor partner in the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government headed Mr. Sangma’s National People’s Party. Five suspended MLAs of the Congress are also in the government.
State TMC leader and the chief whip of the Opposition George Lyngdoh told the 60-member State Assembly on Monday that the Centre and the MDA government have together denied the people of Meghalaya access to beef.
