Shillong, Dec 6: The cabinet minister, meanwhile, refused to entertain any discussion on whether she was going back to the grand old party – Congress.
Prominent ex-Congress leaders, including former chief minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Sangma and deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar, have faced questions if they have any plan to return to Congress, especially after around 500 people from different parties reportedly joined the latter recently.
“I don’t think that I am interested in any such conversation with anyone. Right now I am with the NPP. I will give the NPP the best of my capabilities,” Ampareen said in reply to a query.
“My father also went through many changes in his life because of that requirement of time,” she said referring to PG Marbaniang, a former Lok Sabha MP and her father.
“We have always been dedicated to whichever political party that we associate ourselves with,” she said.
Ampareen was one among the five former Congress MLAs, who were suspended for their decision to support the BJP backed NPP-led MDA-1 government, ahead of 2023 Assembly polls.
