Late PA Sangma is focal point of Meghalaya poll campaign

Almost seven years after his death, former Lok Sabha Speaker Purno Agitok Sangma has become the focal point of electoral politics in Meghalaya. The National People’s Party (NPP) underlined the legacy of its late leader while launching its campaign from Adokgre in North Garo Hills district on January 23. Sangma, who founded the NPP in 2013 after his expulsion from the NCP, used to start his electoral campaign from Adokgre – his “land of victory” – ever since 1977.
