Political crisis in Meghalaya; CM for floor test

Crisis gripped politically-volatile Meghalaya on Wednesday with the Nationalist Congress Party led-Meghalaya Progressive Alliance losing majority after withdrawal of support by a senior minister, while the Opposition Congress stated it was being 'contacted from all sides'.

Urban Affairs Minister and the lone Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement legislator Paul Lyngdoh and two independents, Limison Sangma and Ismail R Marak, pulled out from the MPA coalition in the last three days, reducing MPA's strength to 30 in the 60-member assembly. source: rediff.com
