The Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha presided over a meeting at the party headquarters with all the state leaders present in preparation for the PM’s upcoming visit. “The BJP is planning to make it big. All the party wings have been alerted to ensure that the public meetings turn out to be a successful one”, said sources.
CM Conrad Sangma informed that he will also visit to Meghalaya.
In an interview with the media, CM Sangma stated that the PM’s visit to Shillong is to attend the programme to celebrate the golden jubilee celebrations of the North Eastern Council.
He added that the PM will be flying back to Delhi after spending three hours in the capital city because the PM would be hosting two programmes on the same day.

The programme is also expected to draw the governors and chief ministers of the eight Northeastern states.
