Guwahati: Meghalaya chief minister and NPP national president Conrad Sangma on Sunday stated that there will be a post-poll alliance between the NPP and the BJP in Meghalaya, only if situation demands.
The chief minister of Meghalaya made it clear that the NPP will not form a pre-election coalition with the BJP.
“We have always conducted our own electoral campaigns. NPP never had a pre-election pact,” Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma said.
The Meghalaya chief minister claimed, “In the most recent elections in Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Arunachal, we fought on our own.”
He added that the BJP cannot govern Meghalaya on its own.
“BJP asserts that it will form the government. I don’t think it’s a realistic statement,” Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma said.
He also said that “there is no united opposition” in Meghalaya after the “Congress broke into half”.
“There are doubts in people’s minds about whether the opposition parties can form the government because they are not united anymore,” the Meghalaya CM said.
