    GUWAHATI: It’s only an issue of time that every one 5 Meghalaya Congress MLAs, who ruffled moderately a couple of feathers through becoming a member of the state’s BJP-backed executive, might be suspended through the celebration’s central management.

    He mentioned the entire MLAs could be issued show-cause notices. They’ll be requested to provide an explanation for their resolution at the back of becoming a member of the federal government and if they’ll pull out of it. The show-cause notices usually are issued through Monday.

    “We had suffered vastly in developmental initiatives. We have now been omitted as we’re within the Opposition and we felt it will be higher for us to spouse with the federal government in the rest 11 months (prior to elections), so our constituencies get the eye required,” Lyngdoh, who’s a former minister, had said.
