SHILLONG, MARCH 12: Nationalist Congress Party on Sunday extended full support and cooperation to the E K Mawlong-led Meghalaya Parliamentary Forum (MPF) coalition ministry, senior party leader Purna A Sangma said.

"I would like to spread the message that the NCP is standing firm in the coalition and extends full support to the United Democratic Party (UDP) leader and Chief Minister Mawlong," Sangma told a press conference here.

The NCP has 15 members including its associate members in the UDP-led coalition which also has BJP as a partner. The former Lok Sabha speaker promised that the new Government would provide good governance with top priorities to information technology, law and order and unemployment.

On the law and order front, the Lok Sabha MP said, intelligence network has to be tightened and dialogue should be held with militants to solve the insurgency problem in the region.

While denying any move to rejoin the Congress sans Sonia Gandhi, Sangma claimed that "only NCP could provide a stable Government in the Centre" as the "BJP has reached the saturation point and the Left parties have weakened."
