Northeast issues will be forcefully raised by newly elected MP James Sangma

National People’s Party (NPP) leader and former cabinet minister James Sangma was officially declared elected to represent Meghalaya in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, , after the formal deadline for the withdrawal of nominations concluded. Upon receiving his official certificate of election from the Returning Officer, a humbled Sangma acknowledged the immense responsibility of representing his home state in the Upper House of Parliament. Addressing the historical challenge of northeastern voices being perceived as limited or marginalized due to fewer parliamentary seats, Sangma vowed to counter this dynamic through unwavering persistence and patience. He committed to aggressively pressing for more floor time in Parliament to ensure that the vital, unique issues affecting both Meghalaya and the broader northeastern region are forcefully and effectively brought to the national stage. #Meghalaya #JamesSangma #RajyaSabha #NPP #NortheastVoice
