Meghalaya BJP vice-president Dipul R Marak quits party

TURA: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) faced a significant setback in the Garo Hills region of Meghalaya as its senior leader and the saffron party’s state unit vice president, Dipul R Marak, quit the party.

Marak tendered his resignation from the Meghalaya BJP on Monday (March 25).

Dipul Marak, who previously served as the chief executive member (CEM) of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) in Meghalaya, had joined the BJP after being denied a ticket by the National People's Party (NPP) in the previous council elections.

However, he faced defeat in the polls.

Similarly, his bid in last year's assembly elections in Meghalaya from Rangsakona constituency also ended in failure.
