Overview

• A regional report says as many as three senior former legislators, including ex-BJP and ex-TMC figures, are likely to enter Congress by late October or early November.
• The developments come with questions over MPCC chief Vincent H. Pala’s position, which a senior AICC insider says is under review.
• The insider is quoted saying discussions to replace Pala may conclude after the District Council (GHADC) elections, with the high command to decide.
• Pala, recently back from an extended stay abroad, said he was away for family responsibilities and that he recently became a grandfather.
• Since his return, the former Shillong MP has resumed meetings and preparations for the GHADC elections, which the report says could influence his standing.
