Investigations have uncovered a purported Rs 35‑crore conspiracy aimed at destabilising the Vijay Keshav Singh‑led government in Meghalaya.
A recent probe by investigative journalists has revealed a purported Rs 35‑crore plot to undermine the Vijay Keshav Singh‑led government in Meghalaya. The alleged scheme involves a network of political operatives and financiers who allegedly sought to orchestrate a political crisis that could topple the current administration.
Sources close to the investigation claim that the conspiracy was designed to create a series of defections within the ruling party, thereby weakening the government's majority in the state assembly. The alleged financial backing is said to have come from a consortium of local business interests that felt threatened by recent policy changes introduced by the TVK government.
The Meghalaya High Court has been notified of the allegations, and a special task force has been set up to examine the evidence. Officials from the state police have also been briefed, and a preliminary inquiry is underway to determine the extent of the alleged collusion.
Political analysts warn that if the allegations are proven true, the incident could lead to a significant reshuffling of the state's political landscape and potentially trigger early elections. The government has yet to issue an official statement regarding the claims.
