BJP leader Sanbor Shullai asserted that his party will continue to support the NPP-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government, amid speculations of the saffron camp withdrawing support to the coalition.

Shullai바카라s comments came almost a month after BJP바카라s Meghalaya in-charge M Chuba Ao said the party would soon take a call on whether to continue its support to the NPP-led government in the state, following allegations of corruption against the Conrad K Sangma dispensation.

바카라The BJP will not withdraw from the alliance, and will complete its stipulated term in the coalition,바카라 Shullai told PTI.

Sanbor was seconded by the party's Meghalaya president Ernest Mawrie, who claimed that Ao had remarked without consulting other state leaders.

Shullai, who is also a cabinet minister, on Wednesday said withdrawing support to the government at this juncture would create a wrong perception among its supporters.

바카라He (Ao) did not consult the state leaders. I have informed our central leadership about the matter,바카라 Mawrie said.

The BJP, with two MLAs, is an ally of the National People바카라s Party-led coalition government in the state.

The ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance has 48 MLAs, including 23 of the NPP, in the 60-member assembly.

Referring to several corruption charges against the coalition government, Ao had said last month the saffron camp was examining the complaints.

바카라Our workers have been instructed to collect evidence. If required, central agencies will probe the allegations,바카라 he had said.
