Sangma is not a tribal candidate: Mukul Sangma


Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has rejected Presidential candidate P.A. Sangma's claim of representing all tribals of India today.

Talking to reporters in the Press Club of India (PCI), Mukul has questioned Sangma's contribution to his state.

"How does he claim to represent all tribals, has he got the mandate of all tribals? He also claims now to be representing the Christians, what he can do for Christians when BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is backing him," said the Meghalaya Chief Minister, who belongs to the Congress party.

Mukul and Sangma are from same state and belonged to same tribe.

"He was in a position in the Congress that he could have made the government do anything for Northeast, but what did he do? Visit his constituency, you will see the real picture," lashed out Mukul.

He had further stated that the Indian democracy is not depended on individuals but in political party system, and the stress on individualism would destroy the democracy.

Meanwhile, supporting Congress, he said "No other party has done as much as Congress for the tribals."
