Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday termed the exit of 12 party legislators in Meghalaya and moving on to the Trinamool Congress as a conspiracy. The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said the party leadership, including Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, were looking into the matter. People of our party, especially our party president, Rahul Gandhi and others in the high command, are looking into it. As many as 12 Congress MLAs, including former chief minister Mukul Sangma, switched over to the Trinamool Congress on Wednesday making it the main opposition party in the hill state. However, Kharge said despite all latest developments the Opposition would try and fight unitedly in Parliament against the Narendra Modi-led government.
