Meghalaya’s 60 assembly seats will go to polls on February 27. The counting of votes will take place on March 2.
Drawing a line between friend and foe, the Assam chief minister said, “BJP will never approach TMC.”
Sarma, the architect of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) coalition in 2018, does not regret his decision to forge an alliance with the National People’s Party (NPP) as it was the only means of keeping the Congress out of power.
In 2018, the swearing-in ceremony of the new government in the state was attended by several top BJP leaders.
“At that time, we need to have an alliance with NPP to see that Congress does not form the government at that time, but now the situation has changed, BJP is on its feet,” he said. We are confident of forming the government, we are not analyzing the last five years of the government, it was the need of the hour, we did what we should have done but now we want to go ahead and form our government. Said.
TMC is the main opposition this time and is contesting on 58 of the total 60 assembly seats in Meghalaya.
Going soft on NPP, NEDA convenor refused to make any personal comment on NPP during his pocket meeting in Shillong. He said that the Center had given enough funds to the state government for development initiatives including construction of medical college, anniversaries etc. However, nothing was constructed by the state government.
Polling for 60 assembly seats in Meghalaya will be held on February 27. The counting of votes will take place on March 2.
