Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said, \u201cI would like to advise the BJP why not first ask ED and CBI to be in place and if you (BJP) are so clean if you are just like a saint. If that is the case why do you have to pull out of the government? \u201cIt seems they are using CBI and ED as their political tool as alleged by the AAP and the TMC,\u201d Tynsong said.<\/p>\n
Terming the BJP\u2019s threat to withdraw support to the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government as a \u201cpolitical gimmick\u201d, Deputy Chief Minister and National People\u2019s Party (NPP) national vice-president, Prestone Tynsong challenged the saffron party to quit the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stand of the MDA government under the leadership of Conrad Sangma and my stand are very clear, if they want to pull out of the MDA government we welcome that but it seems that it is already late for them,\u201d Tynsong said on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are part of the MDA. This is a political gimmick created by the so-called high command of the BJP. I am not surprised they keep saying that they will pull out of the government. So I say it is purely a political gimmick,\u201d he restated. Accusing the BJP of using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as its \u201cpolitical tools\u201d,<\/p>\n
