Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has said he will resign as Member of Parliament following his election as member of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly recently.
"I will be going to Delhi to attend a programme in the Parliament to commemorate the birth anniversary of my late father Purno Agitok Sangma," Conrad told reporters yesterday during the celebration of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance felicitating his victory from South Tura defeating United Democratic Partys Pius Marwein from Ranikor in the August 23 bye-elections.
The chief minister is expected to submit his resignation during his visit to the national capital in the first week of next month.
Sangma also informed that he will be meeting several top leaders of the NDA and Union ministers during his stay in Delhi.
