India, Oct. 20 -- In the wake of demand for a change in Congress leadership in the state, party said that Pynshngain N. Syiem is the only leader who insists on MPCC president Vincent H. Pala to step down.

Sources in Congress on Sunday said "Syiem is demanding Pala's removal from the top post in the party's state unit."

The two leaders have been at loggerheads since the polls to the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council. The selection of candidates allegedly created a rift between them.

Sources add that Syiem "has been targeting Pala after Congress was left without any MLA in the 60-member House. The MLAs had crossed over to the National People's Party."
