The Congress in Meghalaya is protesting against the Karnataka Governor’s alleged highhandedness in inviting the BJP for the swearing-in in Karnataka.
Congress legislator Ampareen Lyngdoh said that the party will wait till the Ampati by-election gets over before taking a call on staking claim to form the government in the State.
