Mawsynram UDP legislator Olan Sing Suin has rejected talk of divisions within the United Democratic Party, maintaining that the party remains firm and united on all issues.
Responding to queries on recent political shifts, Suin described such movements as normal in politics.
“This is not a rare phenomenon, it is common. In any political party, some go and some come,” he said.
He stressed that the UDP has no internal rift and functions on consensus, in line with its name.
“There is no rift, there is no division. We are all in consensus on any issues. We are united, as the party name suggests,” the MLA stated.
Suin also clarified the context of the recent Rajya Sabha nomination, saying it was a call taken by the parliamentary party, not by the party as a whole.
He added that the nominee was not representing a single party but the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance.
