The Second Mukul Sangma ministry was the council of ministers of the state of Meghalaya headed by Chief Minister Mukul Sangma. The ministry was formed on 5 March 2013[1] following the re-election of the Indian National Congress under the leadership of chief minister Mukul Sangma in the state assembly election. The ministry remained in effect until its dissolution on 6 March 2018 following the party's defeat in the 2018 election.
Background[edit]
Mukul Sangma became the Chief Minister of Meghalaya for the first time on 20 April 2010 succeeding veteran leader D. D. Lapang following dissidence from his party colleagues.[2] The ruling Congress emerged as the single largest party in the state election winning 29 seats. It was supported by eight independent MLAs and two MLAs belonging to the Nationalist Congress Party, following which Mukul Sangma was re-elected as the leader of the legislature party and hence the chief minister.[3]
Sangma was sworn in as the chief minister for the second consecutive time on 5 March 2013 by Governor Ranjit Shekhar Mooshahary at the Raj Bhavan complex. On 12 March 2018,[4] eleven ministers were inducted to the council of ministers including two deputy chief ministers and nine other of cabinet rank. Three female ministers and Mukul Sangma's younger brother, Zenith Sangma were also inducted.
Composition[edit]
The council of ministers consisted of chief minister Mukul Sangma and the other ministers. On 12 March 2013, the cabinet was expanded to induct the ministers. Two deputy chief ministers, Rowell Lyngdoh and Roytre C. Laloo were appointed. The cabinet ministers included H. D. R. Lyngdoh, Prestone Tynsong, Deborah Marak, Alexander Laloo Hek, Roshan Warjri, Zenith Sangma, Ampareen Lyngdoh, Clement Marak, and Sniawbhalang Dhar. The portfolios were allocated among the ministers on 13 March 2013.[5]
On 25 August 2016, Deputy Chief Minister Rowell Lyngdoh and Minister Alexander Laloo Hek were dropped from the cabinet while Ronnie V. Lyngdoh and Martin Danggo were appointed as ministers the following day.[6][7][8]
The second cabinet reshuffle took place on 4 August 2017. A day prior, the chief minister dropped two ministers- Prestone Tynsong and Sniawbhalang Dhar from the council of ministers and inducted two ministers- Celestine Lyngdoh and Comingone Ymbon.[9][10]
