Paul Lyngdoh terms MDA 2.0 Govt performance ‘phenomenal’

UDP leader and cabinet minister Paul Lyngdoh on Wednesday said the performance of the MDA-2 government has been phenomenal.

Referring to the budget presented by the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma recently, Lyngdoh said, “We have a very ambitious program of action and by the end of the tenure of this government, Meghalaya would be a 10 billion dollar economy.”

“The CM Elevate program has taken off in a huge manner. Arts and culture, which was always considered a minor department today, has been able to establish U Tirot Sing Library at Dhaka, Tagore cultural complex here at Shillong and several other activities,” he said.

“Tourism department is busy on a daily basis. We have MGLP which organizes shows and engages roughly around 3,000 youngsters, we have about 15,000 people directly and directly engaged by the tourism sector. So these are major milestones and in a single year for this to happen are certainly worth acknowledging,” he added.
