GUWAHATI: Three states of the Northeast are in the grip of elections fever and the major political parties are geared up and organizing political rallies across the constituencies. Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland will go for polls on the next month.
National People’s Party(NPP) president and Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma has been positive to create history by becoming the first to secure a single majority in the hill states in over three decades.
NPP is the ruling party in Meghalaya which comes into power by defeating Congress.
Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma said, “We are sensing that the history may repeat again which happened in 1972 with the All Party Hill Leaders Conference (AHL), NPP is also heading the same way,”.
Talking to media persons, Sangma said that the NPP is getting positive responses from the grassroots and that the party is fighting these polls by talking to people about the work done in the last 5 years.
“I have always been a person who believes that elections can never be easy and one has to work very hard and take our opponents very seriously,” CM added.
Earlier on January 25, the BJP unit of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) said that it will contest in all 60 seats of the assembly constituency.
