Meghalaya CM Conrad K Sangma Backs Electoral Bonds

In an exclusive interview with ANI, the Chief Minister asserted, “The introduction of electoral bonds was a pivotal move towards fostering transparency in electoral funding. I staunchly believe it was a positive step, ensuring anonymity and preventing direct association of any company’s name with a particular political party. Despite the recent Supreme Court disclosure of names, I maintain that this measure was indeed a stride in the right direction.”

Regarding the mention of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 in the BJP manifesto, he remarked, “Although I haven’t reviewed the BJP manifesto, it’s important to note that CAA exemptions apply to sixth schedule areas, which include Meghalaya.”

In the forthcoming parliamentary elections, the National People’s Party (NPP) is fielding candidates in both the Shillong and Tura constituencies.
