SHILLONG: In his first statement to the media after the bye-elections in which the Congress faced defeat in all three constituencies, Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Vincent H Pala has taken responsibility for the defeat of the party.

Addressing media persons here on Monday, Pala said that rebel candidates fighting the bye-polls was contributing factor to the failure of the Congress in all the three seats. He, however, said, "The vote share of the Congress was more than other political parties in Mawryngkneng, Mawphlang and Rajabala."

Pala also accused the State government of misusing its machinery to win the election in Rajabala. There was a clash between the Congress and the NPP workers ahead of polls and Pala alleged that the government took action against more than 100 Congress workers sparing the NPP workers.
